Should I get in on it? I'm kicking myself for not buying Facebook when it crashed shortly after its IPO...it was such an obvious gimme at that price. Should I:

a) buy stock right at the IPO

b) wait a bit and see if it drops hard immediately post-IPO

c) stay the hell away

I don't claim to be in-the-know here, but is any of this actually relevant anymore? I appears to be investor momentum that drives swings stock price changes, not long term finances like it was pre-DotCom Bublé.

It's only true for a handful of stocks most of the market trades based on actual finances. The market is not in a bubble, it's trading at about 16x earnings which is the historical average. You could make an argument about the quality of earnings now versus history though. I think sooner or later if the economy doesn't pick up, companies will only being able to cut expenses so much before earnings slide. Revenue is only growing in single digits.

Only in media-land could a company IPO and leave $1.4B on the table be considered a huge success. This thing was clearly mis-priced and I'd be pissed if I were Twitter.

sorry, just saw this..I figured some people would make more money shorting this stock and "betting" it will go much lower..which is now starting to happen..its sitting now at about 41.30...same shit always happens with a over hyped IPO...its way over priced
