Against my better judgment if it gets to 22-23 I think I might bite.

Still overvalued, but the dead cat bounce will be enormous.

Up 5% today (from open, 10% from day's low), does that count as a dead cat bounce?

Facebook has been climbing for the past 2 weeks, it's up to 33!

Commentary, anyone?

I wouldn't buy hoping for that, considering that we don't know how much it'll fall before the bounce...

If it doesn't go up (above $32) for the next ~80 days, then it'll tank when the lock-in period ends for shareholders that have one.

Facebook at <$22 :D It's going to be a slaughter when the lock-in period ends, no?

Facebook at <$22 :D

Though I should be ashamed to admit it, I am experiencing an intense feeling of schadenfreude.

Waiting for it to be in the teens would be ideal

Even at today's price, GRPN is still better off by about 30 percent as compared to GOOG's offer.

GRPN at $4.75 (mkt cap of <$3.5B)...

FB @ ~$19, finally a realistic price.

I am tempted to get in. Still holding out. GRPN will bounce at some point with so many people needing to cover shorts.
