Overhyped? Facebook shares stumble on debut

May 19, 2012

Facebook’s much-anticipated sharemarket debut did not go as planned, as the social networking company's sky-high valuation combined with trading glitches to leave the stock languishing near its offering price.

The shares, priced at $US38 on Thursday in one of the largest-ever initial public offerings (IPO), eked out a rise of just 0.6 per cent to end at $US38.23, posting nowhere near the expected double-digit gains.

The shares jumped 12 per cent to $US42.55 in the opening Nasdaq trades but within minutes fell back to the offering price. A midday rally pushed the price back up but they were again sold off before inching up to end 23 cents higher, on record volume for an IPO of more than 566 million shares traded.

The debut was marred by technical problems on the bourse in which traders were unable to get confirmation of their trades early in the day. The US regulatory commission SEC has announced it is investigating the glitches, which rekindled fears about the market's electronic trading system and caused some investors to stay away from equities.

It wouldn't surprise me if facefuck is myspace 2.

People will tire of it, and prefer a more genuine life without all the cliqueyness, bitchiness, and the lack of privacy and the power you're giving to some poxy corp.

Investors dump Facebook as shares slide

May 22, 2012 - 7:39AM

Facebook shares sank 11 per cent in the first day of trading without the full support of the company's underwriters, leaving some investors down almost 25 per cent from where they were Friday and driving others to switch back to more established stocks.

Facebook's debut was beset by problems, so much so that Nasdaq said it was changing its IPO procedures. That may comfort companies considering a listing, but does it little for Facebook, whose lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley, had to step in and defend the $US38 offering price on the open market.

Even so, one source said Morgan Stanley's own brokers were at one point "ranting and raving" about glitches that left unclear what trades had actually been executed.

Facebook shares ended down $US4.20, at $US34.03, on the Nasdaq. That was a decline of almost 25 per cent from Friday's intra-day high of $US45 a share.

Where are Facebook's friends? Shares hit again

May 23, 2012 - 6:48AM

Facebook's shares fell sharply again overnight, as two top US financial regulators called for a review of the circumstances surrounding its troubled initial public offering last week.

The separate calls for review, by Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro and FINRA Chairman Rick Ketchum, added pressure on the company, its underwriters and the Nasdaq, all of which have taken blame for the stock's harried opening and subsequent sharp decline.

After Friday's nearly flat close and Monday's 11 per cent plunge, Facebook shares plunged another 8.9 per cent to close at $31. At that price the company has shed more than $18 billion in market capitali2ation from its $US38-per-share offering price last week.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash.

These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
