Hello all you Angry Facebook investors. Are you having regrets now, buying into the hype that was the Facebook IPO? I’m not, and neither is the Angry Systems Administrator<\/a> since we were smart enough to stay as far away from this disaster as we could. Since Faceplant<\/del><\/em> Facebook closed at it’s opening day’s astounding high of $0.23\u00a0 share above the IPO price, the stock has plummeted like a rock. It closed today at $31 dollars a share. The IPO was for $35 dollars a share.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whoopsie!<\/p>\n

Now there are reports of shenanigans, insider dealings and subpenas being issued. I don’t know if Mark Zuckerberg knew anything about this. It looks like the problems were with NASDAQ, Morgan Stanley and a few other brokerage houses. It will all be sorted out in the next few weeks, bribes<\/del><\/em> fines will be payed and the common investor who bought into all this will get shafted.<\/p>\n

So, what will the value of Facebook be in a month or two? I can’t say for sure, but I think this image may give you some idea:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Facebook really isn’t worth $38 dollars a share. It might be worth $3.85 a share and will probably hit that in a few weeks. I really hope the new Mrs. Zuckerberg does well as a doctor. The happy couple, now honeymooning in an undisclosed location with no extradition treaty with the U.S. might end up living on what she earns. Well, there is the bonus that Hubby can kill their dinner, so they probably won’t starve. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

That is all…for now. (Yes, I’m having way to much fun picking on Facebook’s IPO Faceplant)<\/p>\n

The IPO. Two things about Facebook’s massive faceplant: 1) Anyone could have seen this coming. The hype was so intense there was no way FB could live up to it. For a company not turning a profit, a $100 billion market cap was just absurd.<\/div>\n
