Sprint wants people to jump from Verizon/AT&T

Looks like Sprint will be trying hard to get people to jump from AT&T & Verizon by offering a $400 credit for new Family plans with 3 lines.

Facebook stock now at 50% of IPO price

»apnews.myway.com//articl ··· JG0.html

Facebook's stock fell to $19 for the first time on Friday, losing half its market value since the company's initial public offering in May.

The stock dipped 87 cents, or 4 percent, to briefly hit $19, just minutes before it closed the trading day at $19.05. Facebook's shares ended the week down nearly 13 percent.

Facebook's stock has struggled since the company's mid-May IPO. It closed its first day of trading barely above its initial offering price of $38. It has been below that level since.

The stock has been down on 38 trading days, up on 25 days and unchanged on one since its initial public offering.

Investors have been concerned about the social network's ability to increase revenue and make money from its growing mobile audience. Many analysts, however, hold positive opinions of the company's long-term prospects.

You can see this as a buying opportunity or like some analysts wait even longer as they still think Facebook is overpriced.

Whatever your opinion, the IPO buyers must feel they were suckered by all the IPO hype.

It's over priced because the majority of the investors are addicted Farcebook fanboys.

There's no buying opportunity here.

Facebook shares faced heavy selling as the first of many "lock-up" shares became free trading recently. There's still lots to come with the last not becoming free trading until May next year - one year from the IPO date.

We'll be jumping ship from the deathstar but not before the 15th! Wonder how much that will attract in new customers.

Re: When everyday is your weekend.

Go to Yard and Estate sales to buy stuff to sell on Ebay, it get me out of the house.
Some times I score like buying a $20 enterprise router and turns out I sold it for over $150.00. or a prayer book I bout for $2 and sold it for $270. Other times I lick my wounds and take the stuff to Good Will.

Re: When everyday is your weekend.

I will double down on the sleep suggestion. But, if sleep is not your thing, or you're just not tired...

Do some online digging. See what museums are within "striking" distance of your abode (I say striking distance as I don't know if you drive). There's probably something of interest in the area. The local farmers market is always good for "people watching". My favorite is Reading Terminal Market in Philly.

If all else fails, go to the local pub, watch a ball game, and forget about work. That's the important thing. Forget about work.....

At the tip of course. After the first one to loosen up it is double fisted the rest of the way.

Backfeed! There you are!

I was wondering where you'd gotten to.

Hope things are well with you and the Mrs., and that you're enjoying some nice weather and doing outdoor things.

It's a bit on the cool side today, a wee taste of fall. I love it. I can finally open up all the windows instead of turning on the a/c.

Have a good weekend my friend.

Amen to that!

It's in the low 70's here in PA, no humidity to speak of, and a clear blue sky.

It's nice to finally be able to open up all the windows and skylights.

It's also nice that being cooler, my laptop isn't overheating while I have it outside on the deck...

I don't get to Philly too often, but we just love the Reading Terminal Market. Lots of good stuff there.

Watching a ball game is always good too.

Summer, and not working- is spending every minute I can outside on the deck. With my laptop, of course.

Thank God for wifi...

That, and pigging out on *real* tomatoes...

Sprint only saves you $10 a month if you only have one line. I'd rather go with Virgin Mobile... Same network as sprint but far better pricing.

Re: Facebook stock now at 50% of IPO price

Perhaps it is time for the Facebook founders to buy out all the shares and take the company private again.

I thought they wanted to stay private all along but were required to go public due to the number of shares.

Don't feel bad. My husband also has quite an extensive honey-do list.

Think of it this way, getting stuff done around the house on the weekends keeps us wives happy, and that's always a good thing.
