Another dot-com is coming. Like Groupon, Facebook is being grossly overvalued due to baby-boomers not understanding the fickleness of internet phenomenons.
really "messiah 666"? u think its cool to be a satanist or something? homeboy turn that act around while u still can. if ur any kind of messiah u can see for sure that the prophecies are ending SOON. peace be with u.
forgive me brother in christ. i have judged u unfairly. let he who is without the first stone... father forgive. i now c that ur name is a highly ascerbic social commentary.
What no one seems to mention is that stock options are great, but owning stock is better. The people who are getting rich on the IPO are the investment bankers. Employees of Facebook will have to wait 6 months after the IPO to exercise their vested shares. (SEC rules) Most shares vest over four years, so the folks who've been there longest get to exercise more sooner.
Most IPOs seem to skyrocket on the first few days then settle down below the strike price. So all those employees won't get the initial $100 dollar shares, but perhaps something more modest.
Or they could luck out and the stock will keep climbing. No telling.

No not at all, it is a reference to those puppets like Obama who proclaim they are going to save others but are really corrupt.

It's not complex to a business person. A Facebook person just cheers. A tech person asks why this is considered tech.
