There has to be somebody to blame other than the truth.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Regulators are looking into a report that Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for Facebook's initial public offering last week, shared a negative assessment of the social network with major clients ahead of the IPO.

The comments from Rick Ketchum, head of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an independent regulatory body, came after an article from Reuters said that a Morgan Stanley analyst reduced his revenue projections for Facebook (FB) shortly before the offering and shared this with institutional investors.

Now cue taxpayer money to fund an investigation to "get to the bottom of this" ... to find out precisely how a group of greedy people managed to hype a pile of dogshit and pump-and-dump it onto a sea of absolute fucking idiots. Yes ... lets literally make a federal case out of discovering the mechanism whereby fools are parted from their money.

Obama was busy pimping Facebook to anyone that would listen. MS did not fall in line and parrot Obama so now they must be punished!

How could anyone not see this was going to be a bad investment. Facebook generates among the lowest ad revenue to it's advertisers of any major player...

It's maxed out on membership and the next thing in order is monthly fees... it isn't happening...

If they try to invoke monthly fees, the mass exodus to other social networking sites will mkae their heads spin...

Interestingly enough Justin Timberlake bought a huge stake in myspace after starring in The Social Network...

All it does is set up an environment where a generation of the privileged start screaming for more regulation. You have to wonder if this shit isn't intentional. The only way to balance the system is to allow people to get their asses burned, not provide the illusion of another safety net, provided by professional compromisers and thieves. This is getting ridiculous.
