They keep blaming the technical problem but the share price kept dropping. Way over valued.

Way overvalued is right. It should be trading under $7 per share.

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop....Facebook is not worth $10 a share, let alone $27.00. But they will probably dump all the over priced shares into some pension or 401k type funds when they get the chance.

The IPO from hell. A famous salesman once said nobody ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the public.

My God! UBS was also in head-over-heels in the U.S. subprime mortgage market, too, weren’t they? What a bunch of buffoons.
