FACEBOOK IPO

all the experts: kramer, scarborough, deutch, et al say facebook is going down.  reasons include a gazillion customers with no money, and short attention spans. 

you stock market hounds should be aware that this is what risk is about.  buying this stock is a risk.  you can lose your money.  thats what risk means.  don' t cry to me.  it can go down and disappear when the next hot internet thingy appears.

on the other hand the experts are wrong a lot.  you may have a chance to make a lot of bucks so you can lose them on the next hot issue.  lotsa luck, suckers.

diablo 3 unveiled yesterday.  breathlessly i awaited the reviews on amazon.  sadly my expectations were dashed and crushed.  363 users who anted up the $60 initial cost plus internet costs were disappointed and hurt by the various problems, redtape, and game.  they gave it one star- the worst rating.  only  185 users were satisfied rating it five stars.  my usual approach to buying an item is if the item has an approval rating of 10:1.  this item has a 1:2 ratio.

i'll go back to diablo 2 (or 1)  which were interesting games with very few problems.
