Why NOT to Buy Into Facebook’s IPO.
After reading the s-1 myself and upon reading other analysis i ahve to agree with Karl on this one.

My wife just got done baking some pumpkin bread muffins. She was totally silent on getting the muffins out of the oven. No sooner had my wife pulled one of them out here comes Chloe wanting “bread”. Heather looks at me, shakes her head and says, ” Never fails”. It was funny to see.
So they increased taxes and “cut” services while spending 10 million more in the next budget. Souds to me they did not do a whole lot in reductions. Cuts to personnel and services were combined with projected increases in income tax revenue to balance the budget, which is $10 million larger than this year’s. The county… Read more
