I thought it was all the people looking to dump this stock for a quick flip since it's 3x overvalued and the greenshoe support can only last so long, but I guess not. Long as a day trade was probably the most obvious trade of the year after the open on friday, basically there was no way to lose on the trade as long as you closed your position by day-end but that was not guaranteed thing I suppose.

In any case I'm sure institutions will be rushing in to get their hands on this amazing issue once all the confirmation issues are sorted out.

If institutions were that willing to dump or flip, you would not see so many negative sentiments in financial media.

The latest Barron's issue just gloated over the "failed" Facebook IPO.

Spin. The stock dropped like a stone when they were late opening (because of the many BUY orders? I think not.) They had to prop up the stock at $38. I tried to get out at $42 and $41. After a long day of many complications, I finally got confirmation after hours. Just think if GS was running the show.

Word was one of the institutions - Goldman I think - had a billion $ in support trying to keep a floor under the price.

All in all....then tell me how the HFT guys can seem to get their job done, but the IPO gets worked over by the "theoretically" best systems in the world.

I bought at 40.00 but couldn't track it till it was 42.00. it wouldn't show up. Tried to cancel the order and was turned down saying it REALLY came in at 38.00 but the Nas didn't show it up till 42.00.The blame put on the Nas. sharebuilder wouldn't take any responsibility for the errors. I Now am selling it at a small loss and will wait a long time b4 I re-invest. Hard to believe that the system couldn't hold up. Worked in computers too long to buy that totally.

Mr Greifield's only 30MM affected misses the point. It is the trading psychology. Whenever there is a glitch, people back off. Thus the sluggishness. Just a minor cut doesn't mean you won't get infected

What do you expect from a $9.00 stock.
In 90 days, when the insiders can sell it could get back to the
real price of $9.00-$10.00 a share.

I expect a fair and honest buy and sell order when I execute a trade. $9 Dollars or $90 Dollars is all the same. FAIR AND HONEST!

If the NASDAQ can't handle the trade volume then maybe they should crash all the ipo's, also I wonder who's pocket got lined for this? It sure was not yours or mine.
