Re: re FB - interesting to see so much blame for the FB IPO but is Mo

And what is wrong with getting highest price possible?
Nothing is wrong with that. Keep in mind IPO pricing is just a tactic in furtherance of an overall strategy of sell ALL stock that wants to be sold for the highest combined overall price. The shares in lockup are going to suffer because the tactic of maximizing the present takes away from the future, and there are a lot more shares in the future than at the IPO. Those subject to the lockup got screwed for the benefit of those selling now. There wasn't much foresight done.

MS represent the seller well (selling more at a higher price) but taking all the IPO buyers out for a ride and they will pay for their dirty deed for years to come..

Nasdaq is the one who took the buyers for the ride. That doesn't effect me much because I already focus on NYSE listed stocks. Those who trade in Nascaq stocks a lot might want to reconsider.
