Because we don't live in Communist China? The people will scream loud enough eventually. Let the free markets reign!
HUGE: New head of FHA on FNMA
WSJ: Should Fannie and Freddie be wound down?
Mr. Watt: There is general—almost unanimous—consensus that we should move as much of this back into the private sector as quickly as can be done. There’s virtual unanimity.

Let it run!
Locked and loaded!
I have no idea what you're saying. Can you translate to newb speak?
WS isn't trading this...
Hmmm. Is there an official definition? I can't find any reference to VERT anywhere online.
What's "VERT"?
Facebook has proven that they can make money in new areas. They went from 0% of their revenue on mobile a year ago to 30% of their revenue on mobile in Q1 2013. This trend won't be stopping, mostly fueled by mobile app download market. Companies are paying HUGE dollars to get their apps downloaded, but not just by certain people, by highly targeted demographic (eg: Women, 25-40 who live in the mid-west, who also like Oprah). Facebook is the only mobile advertising channel that can provide this level of targeting at a HUGE scale (trillions of pageviews a day).
I work in mobile advertising myself (top 3 network in the world) and EVERYONE is getting their lunch ate by Facebook right now. We're losing money left and right because everyone is moving their spend to Facebook. For example: look at $MM and $VELT, both leaders in mobile advertising, both have had terrible quarters since Facebook got into the mobile advertising game.
Mobile advertising is a HUGE market and is only getting bigger, and Facebook is positioned to be the leader for the next 3-5 years, at least.
As a comparison, $MM did $50M in revenue in Q4 in mobile advertising. $FB did $350M. They're already doing 7x what the leaders in mobile advertising are doing, and they're just getting started.
More people are using Facebook than ever before. Monthly user numbers climbed 23% year-over-year to 1.1 billion, while daily users increased 26% to 665 million.
What's DDLS?
Right there with you. Except I bought 1mm shares...
I've had zero problems getting filled or selling on Sharebuilder
Realtime 0.82
Got in @ 0.31, sold profits at 0.75, free money until drop today -- sold all at .81 on the drop. Back in at .60 :)
Bought 40k at 0.32. Let's just say I'm a happy camper right now ;)
Where are you getting the realtime updates? I'm 15min delayed here

Seems like a good ole pump n dump to me.
The regulators have publicly said that they are dismantling Fannie and Freddie, so not sure where you guys are getting this $1-2 PPS? They're ripping out the loan scrutinization part of their businesses and creating a new company to handle that. What's going to become of the rest of the companies -- the shells? I bet they get dissolved.
Dipping again.... down to .29
Hidden gem in the call: "App download advertising is off to a good start"
Facebook only recently started offering app download campaigns in Q4.
App advertisers are paying $1-$5 per download on average. Facebook has THE BEST channel for app downloads. No other mobile ad network has the demographic data and traffic Facebook has. Facebook is also unique because they can actually tell advertisers if their app was downloaded from an ad in Facebook. Other ad networks have to use 3rd party trackers like AdX or MobileAppTracking.com -- even those are not 100% accurate. Facebook is 100% accurate.
Expect more and more app advertisers to move their budgets to Facebook in 2013.

Watch FBX, it's a game changer. Those little Like buttons across the internet are a trojan horse that tells FB and advertisers what users are looking at and interested in. HUGE upside here.
Desire? +50% of the 1.06B users come back everyday.
This is true. Stock options were available to sale or move to a new broker on Nov 14. RSUs are available to move to a new broker or sell out of Schwab starting Nov 19th.
Perfect time to buy MM - IMO
Q4 is going to be a good quarter for Facebook
Couple reasons why:
1) Election budgets picked up full swing in October. Imagine the level of targeting the campaigns could do with Facebook. Example: 18-25 females in Ohio who vote Democratic.
2) Mobile game advertising picks up 2-3x in the holiday weeks, and Facebook introduced mobile app advertising in the platform not too long ago. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/08/07/introducing-new-mobile-ads-for-apps/ (companies like TinyCo and Zynga say this advertising channel is producing the highest quality users)
What are your thoughts?
election budgets + FB = GOLD
think of the level of targeting campaigns could do with FB. Females, 18-25 in Ohio. I think Q4 is going to blow analysts away.
LONG.
Incorrect. Tomorrow the ex-employees can sell options. 11/19 the ex-employees can sell RSUs. The previous lockups allowed directors and current employees to sell. But virtually no one did.
Insider trading window was from 10/16-11/14. 30 days.
Yes, because current employees only have a 30 day trading window which expires tomorrow.
Directors barely anything and PPS only fell <5% -- quite the minimal result for a huge lockup to expire.
Oct 16 current employees and directors could start selling. No one did. Nov 14 and 19 are for ex-employees.

Current employee lookup was in October. No one sold. This is the lockup for ex-employees. Again, no one will sell.
