    I just saw a note cross the wires- FACEBOOK is UNDERsubscribed.

    They could not sell all the shares they wanted before the open this morning.

    FB starts trading at 11:00 a.m.

    Changing my bid to $39. It is indicating an open near $43 - $45 right now.

    Funny looking C/S Charts...

    Looks like excitable folks trying to get into the market before Facebook starts trading - then the smart money take profit. It might not be smart money - who knows. Anyway, the delay in the Facebook offering gives us TSPTalkers a glimpse of the future, eh...

    My guess is a big up bounce as 'dumb' money tries to get in on the side, and a dump as 'smart' money takes the opportunity to sell and lock in profit...

    Me, I'll just sit right here invested 50% in the market and 50% out of the market. I'll need something like another 10% - 12% dump in the S&P to zero out this years YTOD gains... Want to be there when the 'smart' money looks past early November!!!
    Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!

    NASDAQ still having trouble launching trades of FB. Looks like major traffic jam. None of the quote services can get it either. Last report showing trades ready to begin at $38, but I saw one trade flash by at about 11:14 or so of a $56 exchange. then....nothing..
