Another competing theory: It was just a really big rip off.

Fast & Furious >> Gun Control

BP oil disaster >> Oil drilling bans

MF Global $1.5 billion loss >> Wall Street restrictions

Facebook debacle >> Internet Control & more Wall Street restrictions

There are MANY more examples of these Saul Alinsky tactics of the Obama regime!

This doesn’t make any sense. Zuckerberg is an Obama butt-boy. He’d take orders “for the greater good” without batting an eye.

Occum’s Razor says that FB’s IPO was just a rip-off for the common man.

Glenn Beck is the LAST person you should believe when it comes to finance.

He was telling everyone to sell their stock right AFTER the crash.. People who listened to him and didn’t buy, for instance, Apple missed out on recouping their losses..

Beck is a laggard and an idiot.. The things he does get right have already been said by others much wiser than he.

Facebook is a pimple on the rear of the 400 million ton elephant that is the internet.

Beck is into regular shark jumping sadly.

Its format is cluttered. I find it off-putting.

Dollars to donuts no one will go to the Blaze to read the article, they will slam Beck for being a nut and then the Anti-Mormons will jump in.

Good luck with this, Beck connected the dots. How did FB get a value over that of Disney?

Fads usually are.

Facebook does nothing you can’t do with more focused sites.

An article in the IBD said that Facebook’s earnings do not come close to justifying their IPO price.

I wrote it last time FB became public, it is one shot deal, make quick money first, and then let it fall.

Idiots who were hitting on that IPO don’t have concept of how it works, when you have IPO starting at 38 and thinking it will go to 50, you really need to learn gambling in casinos, seriously. I knew it, it was too high and it will fall down more, those who cash in were the winners, quick buy and sell off. Now screams and yelling comes out, it was the greed of them who let them loose.

I think people have not learn .com situation.

Merci.

The premise doesn’t even make sense.
FB has not collapse, the IPO price came and went and now it is moving with the rest of the market.

Facebook hired Gibbs after he left the Whitehouse, held Obama fund raisers in top management home, massive data mining. Congress is trying to make it legal for the state department to use propaganda domestically. Beck is just connecting dots.

Yes, just a theory, but the government has been desperately trying to get total control over “allowed”information for years.

It is the first thing all Marxist/fascist/totalitarian governments do—Control the allowed ‘ideas” which flow to the masses. They had almost total control prior to Rush Limbaugh and still continue to control public school indoctrination into Marxism.....

Government has almost totally controlled the dialogue with their 24/7 agitprop. Internet has put a major wrench in their “control” of the proper worldview. Tea Party is probably an effect of the internet information.

I conjectured on another thread:

If Government Motors pulls the rug out from under Facebook the day before the IPO, that tells me that the government thinks Facebook is too big to succeed. Watch for some major campaign donations to fall Obama's way (if they think he will still win) or Romney's way (if they think it's time for a "change").

As of May 17, the Obama campaign had received less than $60K from Facebook people. I'm sure they thought they deserved a lot more.

That's a nice little IPO you've got there. How do think it would look with a couple of broken knees?
