Yeah, well, there are SO MANY scams out there, and SO MANY people to feel sorry for, I kinda run out of juice, on that! I mean, anyone feel sorry for you when you make the wrong bet, in the wrong arena, over your head, with extra money you should have invest wisely instead, not knowing the risks you just took? Nope. Not at this end, either. Sucks. Fuggem. Moving along, nothing to see, not even dialing 911. Dat's da stick markit fer ya. ;-)

The documents were there, the numbers were known, there was no fraud, nobody was forced to buy. So not much empathy from me to "everyone". Truth. At some point people need to take responsibility for their own choices.

> The documents were there, the numbers were known Yup. Zuck waited until the very last minute. Sucked up every last dollar. It seemed pretty obvious to me. He learned from prior tech IPOs that he would not make nearly as much if he IPO'd too early. That being said the pendulum will probably swing too far the other way too. Its going to leave a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of "investors" who don't understand that for every buck made a buck somewhere else is lost. FB has a lot of eyeballs and a lot of data. Unless they are totally incompetent its hard to see how they could not eventually make money. People were skeptical about Google at one point too. There may come a time when FB is a great buy. To me it just getting interesting. I remember when Apple was king, then became the goat, and in some ways people still see it as a goat. I see it as a golden goat.
