Is there still such a thing as penny stocks?

This is really going to be a mess for a while...

WSJ: These Companies Got the Inside Track on Facebook's Doomed IPO

Investors are trying to get their lost money back through the courts and Morgan Stanley are being blamed for all kinds of dubious activities. Now, the Wall Street Journal has confirmed the names of companies who Morgan Stanley tipped off about Facebook's doomed offering.

 

Staff from Morgan Stanely—acting on information from a Facebook executive—decided to warn a small, select number of large companies off from the IPO. From the Journal's article:

 

"Capital Research & Management wanted to buy into the Facebook Inc.initial public offering. But days before the IPO, an underwriting bank on the deal warned the big investment firm about Facebook's dimming revenue prospects...

 

"The Los Angeles firm, armed with information from a May 11 "roadshow" meeting with underwriters and Facebook, along with similar estimates of its own, slashed the number of shares it intended to buy...

 

"Fidelity Investments was among big clients that were told by analysts or bank sales staff of the declining Facebook financial picture, people familiar with the matter say. The nation's third-largest mutual fund firm expressed frustration to Morgan Stanley about Facebook valuations based on the dimming prospects for the company, the people say."

I was told FB stock will basically fall of the face of the earth in a few months.*

 

When those that are locked-up in their stock (mostly employees) are able to sell, about 2.5 billion extra shares will be available to sell, the IPO had about 450 million shares. I was told unless something changes, it could drop to between $15-20 a share.*

So............................................When can we expect the BGP IPO to be forthcoming?
He's alive!
