That writer is closer than the first, but has managed to leave out several elements.
For example, 'scantily clad shorting'....ie naked shorting above the $38 price, with the GS option as a hedge.

He has one thing right....we, the people, will never know all of the machinations that go on, if the participants can prevent it.

Best,
S.

> the free float of Facebook shares will be 421 million, not 484 million

I posted these yahoofinance figures on 22 May

Shares Outstanding5:2.74B
Float:188.98M


Today 25 May:

Shares Outstanding5:2.74B
Float:719.34M


I have no idea what this means... Yahoo is all screwed up?... Venture caps dumping shares?

It just seemed weird.
