They usually don't announce that kind of decision as " pleased to announce" also multiple offers were said to be on the table yet it states " the purchase offer" leading to believe they choose just one. That coupled with the retraction of 200 mill shares all leads me to believe a deal was made.
JMO though. we will see in the morning!

It doesn't seem like to much DD had to be done over this deal considering it took place over the weekend at best. With the retraction of shares and buyout offer being presented 9am tomm deal must be good. Boards don't make fast crappy deals, they only move fast on deals that are better then what they could get by waiting, I guess well see in the morning at 9am.

P & D you say??????????????????

I think the mention of teen user reduction was more to hold the twitter IPO in question then disclosure by FB. Why would FB put that out 2 weeks prior to twitters IPO. Q3 speak for itself. Slowing teen interest outs twitter more in question then should have hurt FB, even so FB has Q4 to look forward to blow out estimates once again. I think the teen user statement was a well timed tactic to ensure Twitter is exposed to the same fate as FBs IPO.

Todays news stated at the request of THE BOARD 200 mill shares were to be pulled, the BOARD is now considering MULTIPLE offers. These statements are not the norm P & D statements. These statements are coming from the corporation as board meeting decisions not being posted from some hag tag press wire or pr firm. If multiple interest in a partnership or buyout offer and or the pulling of shares to increase PPS value are false coming from official stated board decisions and not press this would be clear FRAUD. This is not coming to gather as a P and D, it at face value has more and more credibility with each announcement and when and how the info is being presented. Seems like its all on the up and up to me.

Q3 speaks for itself...out side of good news if this kind of Q doesn't move this log some kind of big news will but outside of that holding this down is obviously what the MM want and they seldom don't get what they want. Q3 SHOULD HAVE BLOWN THE PAST 52 WK HIGHS this teenage comment was not enough to hold a Q like that back this hard.
JMO

YES. Also deals made based many things including current value or PPS as well. So it makes since to increase PPS value as in some cases offers are tied to CURRENT PPS a the time of the deal. Smart move pulling the 200 mill and gives me confidence a deal is close to or already structured. Could see news much sooner then Tues/Wed IMO.
GLTA
Pulling the 200 Mill available of 466 mill outstanding is enough to value us at .007 IMO. Out side of a deal we are trading welllllll under valuation WRIGHT NOW. I believe accumulating now is my move.
GLTA
JJZander Yes much earlier then Wed as early as A/C today or tomm we will here details of a deal.
A deal I think is deff solidly on the table and seriously being considered or maybe even set and based in large part on pps as this move that obviously happened over the weekend taking 200 mill shares of the table as stated is to raise PPS. IMO a deal is already done.
GLTA
GO FVSTA
Any significant news prior to open in the am will propel FB pps to exceed its highs. FB has plenty in the fire and had no reason to release anything prior to Q3. I suspect catalyst through out Nov I dont see us not breaking the $60s by mid Nov 2013.

Nothing at all its very normal for trading to be halted for news TBA of this magnitude. I for one will ride the hype
And not hold all through the pending deal simply because even a great buyout deal that happens more often then not benefits everyone other then us common stock holders.
JMO
GLTA
The link was posted as " Directly from the SEC website " that Is whats why people need to really do there own DD because people post here sometimes with good intentions sometimes not, either way posting links or opinions as though they are facts is irresponsible.
FACT not JMO
Im here to ride the news or maybe just the hype cause the reality is even if there is a buyout, even if its huge for the company the structure of the deal is more often then not built around everyone OTHER then C share holders getting our hands on it. JMO
I can't say the SEC have ever impressed me as the market police. However I am pretty sure that post is not off SEC site with the typos I just read in what you just posted.
I recently jumped in on the deal news. I'll do my DD this weekend. how much crude and or other resources have been discovered and why they cant raise money to dig it up on there own if so valuable. Usually if a B/O goes down and there is more then one interested buyers 5x maybe 7x current value with 1/2 bill outstanding S/O is top side. However many of these B/O end up working out EXTREAMLY well for the company and PREFF stock holder and common share holders get hosed. At least we don't have to long to wait and see what if any kind of deal is made and what its means for us common share holders hope we don't end up bag holders instead of stock holders. LOL
GLTA
Well done. That's all I could find as well. Brokers are like car salesman they usually don't know much more then you do or that you can't find with a few clicks on the net, but there a broker so they gotta say something to sound as though they actually do know something.
GLTA
News of a buyout/sell offer will halt trading. When was the legal issue or investigation? I can't find a link.
Thanks

Almost 500 mill "1/2 BILL" shares traded in the open market in 3 days with PPS margin of 3.5 %. FB PPS is not going any where until the powers that be decide when and where they want PPS to be. May see a bump outside of significant news "if" the twitter IPO goes as badly as FB originally did.
JMHO
joelk,
I agree with you. However it was said the same of the Q2 into Q3 yet here we are.....Its like watching a magic trick that blows your mind...LOL You have no idea how it worked yet you know its not real. PPS in the low 50s is not real yet we see it with our own eyes...
GLTA
IMHO Twitter could be as bad if not worse then the FB IPO. If not I don't see a successful IPO. I am not interested in the IPO myself. Maybe investing next year once audited financials are available as well as time to see how the market reacts to it.
FWIT
Blowout Q3 is not HYPE, beating estimates by 24% with growth in all areas of revenue and profit is called a usually seen as a catalyst.
Fact no JMO
Breakout Q3 accross the board, upgrades and huge poss PPS value estimates from 13 sources in 2 days and we are still trading below Pre Q3 release. FB is under the control of the powers that be until they decide it should move. Funny if the plan is to maintain slow and controlled PPS by MM where were they when the FB IPO crashed and FB fell like a ROCK?? There was no controlled decent then. Those of us who hold long positions have been jacked. I Dumped most of my allotted $$$ for FB in the IPO, iv averaged down in small $$ share purchases I never intended to put into FB but have yet to see a reasonable return on my total investment because the IPO was a bust and now the fundamentals speak for themselves yet PPS trades below its FMV.
Go Figure
GO FB
LOL Yes I agree I see everyone I know including my teens and there friends depend on FB for all things that matter. However being this fallen teen use has now become a topic being discussed concerning twitter and the up coming IPO it makes me wonder if it was not a CALCULATED move. We all know that concerns can effect PPS or even a IPO more then facts HENCE the PPS with our FB after a blow out Q3.
JAT
I couldn't find a valid reason for FB putting out anything negative to down play such a strong Q3, it made no since UNTIL I start reading all the neg attention its now putting on the up coming Twitter IPO. Emmmm could they really be that sneaky "smart" to put down the IPO of the competition?
u238ed They don't make it up "usually" they just repeat what they read and hear ON message boards like this instead of doing their DD themselves.
GLTA
GO FB
4% gsain at 150+ mill volume before noon is not FALLING my friend. You may want to check your compus.
GLTA
RIGHT........... and my G4 droid is fun to play with to as well especially when my 20, 19, and 24 year old children use FB apps to interact with me more then they do in person. Facebook is not a fad. TUTs don't poor billions into a FAD.
IMO anyway.
I show 8???? Whatever it is we need these 2 ask to move to .0003s.
GO AXLX!
18 Mill on the ask @ .0002. 1.1 BILL on the bid @ .0001...exactly what does it take take wipe out these .0001s???????/
Until these .000005's warrants are mostly out of the picture it is going to hold us at these levels for some time. Without HARD news of something poss happening I don't see us doing much aside from playing ping pong between 0001 and 00002 for awhile.
I agree 100% DUDE. Only cheap for us COMMON FOLK would be .0001s as were not part of the Elite insiders. To any extent I'm very comfy accumulating in the .0001s as with some luck + time + patience a exit at .0003 .0004s seems reasonable.
GL all
There is a BILLION + cheap shares NOW that will surely run at .0001 soon. Just how many would you expect to shake from the hands of investors on this board? My assumption would be any shares that CAN BE shaken from investors who use this board as DD to invest would not ad up to many shares. JMHO
