“APPLE BEING USED AS ATM FOR FACEBOOK IPO”
You gotta read CNBC’s Jane Wells latest story where she asks if folks are selling Apple to raise cash to buy FB. Jane writes, “Apple shares have been falling from the Tree of Knowledge between Good and Profits, heading down for their fifth straight session and losing seven percent in a week. That's a $34 billion loss of market cap, perhaps twice the amount that Facebook hopes to raise.” -

Four financial advisers gathered in a midtown restaurant to eat lunch and trade stories about investor appetite for shares of the social network….sounds like the beginning of a good joke right?

IS THE NYT CHANNELING FATBOY SLIM?
Writing, “Facebook pulled it off” The ol’ Gray Lady has its version of Facebook’s meteoric rise from the dorms. “In just eight years, Facebook has gone from a scrappy college service founded in a Harvard dormitory to the third-largest public offering in the history of the United States, behind General Motors and Visa.”
Praise you indeed. -
