I overheard two people on Friday at work talking about the price they got for Facebook stock. One of them paid 40 dollars a share. I said nothing except “Wait til Monday”. All those people that became instant millionares on Friday had to sell it to someone. If you fell for the hype on Friday and bought, all you did was buy the shares that were being dumped to create those millionares. At the end of trading on Friday the underwriters had to come in and support the price or it would have dropped then instead of today. A social networking site? And just what product does that produce?

"The answer is very simple. Long before communists occupy the city, there was extensive network of informers; local Vietnamese citizens who knew absolutely everything about people who are instrumental in public opinion - including Barbers and Taxi Drivers. Everyone who was sympathetic to United States was executed. Same thing was done under the guidance of the Soviet Embassy in Hanoi, and same thing I was doing in New Delhi. To my horror, I discovered that in the files were people who were doomed to execution. There were names of pro-Soviet Journalists, with whom I was personally friendly."
