Investors Sue Facebook (FB) and Underwriters
A lawsuit has been filed by three Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) investors who say
that analysts at the underwriters’ banks did not properly disclose any
changes to forecasts and expectations of Facebook.
The lawsuit came after news broke that analysts, particularly at Morgan
Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS), had their
forecasts cut on Facebook during the company’s road show to promote the IPO.
Late Tuesday night, Massachusetts sent a subpoena to Morgan Stanley after
the news broke. In addition, more investors filed suit after feeling
cheated by the underwriters about the true valuation of Facebook. The
lawsuit that came out this morning is seeking class-action status as the
underwriters’ mislead investors allegedly on the valuation of the stock.
A Morgan Stanley spokesman said in response to the lawsuit that the bank
followed the same procedure as it has done with all its IPOs. Furthermore,
the spokesman said that the standard procedure follows all laws and
regulations.
Unfortunately, you knew there would be lawsuits after this IPO.
Surprisingly enough, there is no suit against NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ
:NDAQ) after their mechanical failure delayed the IPO and even didn’t allow
some investors’ trades to go through. I think that if Facebook took off
instead of diving 18% or so, we would have seen some action against NASDAQ.
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) was a failure as an IPO. The bottom line is that
the underwriters floated too many shares and offered the stock at too high
of a price. These factors caused big money to stay on the sidelines rather
than jumping into the stock.
Then you had the NASDAQ mechanical failure that just simply got overloaded
by trade orders and some people didn’t even get a trade confirmation in the
end. A lot of those trades that didn’t get filled were near the high of
the day which begs the question that if the computers didn’t fail and those
high end orders were placed, would Facebook have gone higher, rather than
falling flat on its face?
We have been against the Facebook bonanza since the start and it proved that
value is definitely a more safe route to go then trying to get rich quick
with high flying IPOs.
The bottom line, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and other high flying IPOs need to
be stayed away from if you are a small investor that relies mostly on
mutual funds and index funds. |

究法律责任都是可能的。
如果是我让你买的，你当然不能说我。
