Just because you feel the need to tip doesn't mean I should. 

You would love the opening scene in Reservoir Dogs where Stevel Buschemi(Mr Pink) goes on an awesome rant about tipping.  The guy at mcdonalds works just as hard or even harder than your waitress but no tip for him..etc.

When i first came to China, i tried to tip.  Taxis, servers, street girl who helped me with directions..Most people wont take the tips.  Bars will take tips sometimes and nice restaurants but its uncommon.  It was VERY hard to break the habit of tipping because its so ingrained in me. You feel bad cuz these ppl dont make chit for money. 

But here you can bargain for almost everything its great.

oh and Facebook, never know when some news comes out this will bounce hard.

Yeah, I've seen the scene and someone posted the video as well which was removed due to it being off topic. I was in Asia not too long ago, it's just the culture there and for most of the European country. I think the issue is that the article that was source twists it so it seemed more like being American made it so you had to tip when realistically it had nothing to do with it. Tipping in America is common and respected, tipping may not be something that is highly respected elsewhere, and being a tourist you need to understand the difference in culture. I expect foreigners to respect our customs in the US the same way I'm expected to respect their customs when I'm in their country.

To refrain from continuing off topic. I'm not sure if I've already posted this somewhere on the board already. In my honest option, FB has as much potential as NFLX. It carries a heavy bias by both sides, and it has the brand recognition just like NFLX did at one point the last 2-3 years. All the makings of a good big fund squeeze toy. What I mean by bias is pretty much, I've seen members go in chat with absolutely no reasoning or breakdown as to why they believe FB will continue to go down besides the fact that it's over valued or that there are pre-existing investors that still have not gotten out. Valuation is important in the long run, but we've seen stocks (again like NFLX) that runs far past its potential in the short run. Rather than potential based off of FB's capabilities, I look at the potential of FB based off of retail bias and large fund manipulation realistically. 

--I'll have to re-read this another time to see if it made sense, seems to at the time of writing this. Hope it provides an idea of where I'm getting at. 

Break of $29 looks like a good entry.

Sentiment is getting pretty damn bearish... We all know what that means. Just need to see the big panic flush.

Also, insiders can't sell after 3 months. Probably look to establish long-term positions after all the sellers who want to exit, will exit (Even if its at a loss or smaller than expected profit). After seeing one quarter of fundamentals, that would be great too. Hopefully, they didn't botch things up too bad when they were a private company.

A/D inverse H&S pattern, volume trend establishing so far. Momentum becoming more and more likely. Bounce...

Buy Facebook? by Antichartjunk.com June 6, 2012

After witnessing several Facebook friends suggesting other Facebook friends to load up, double down, and otherwise purchase Facebook stock, as well as viewing such advice on forums as Hot Stock Market, I thought it would be helpful to chime in.  Traders and wannabes are clearly unnecessarily losing money.  In the spirit of my previous “Buy Apple?” post, here are a few of the more interesting Facebook related articles as of late:

My Thoughts on the Facebook IPO by W. Scott O’Neil

Avoid These High-Drama Stocks! by Jim Cramer

Stocks Worse Than Facebook (FB) by Bespoke (not very many)

Welcome to the Big Leagues, Facebook! by Bespoke

My Take: Just as before, keep it simple.  Currently, the overall market is in distribution mode so long positions should still be avoided.  Further, as with any IPO and any stock, ignore the hype.   The overall market must begin another uptrend and a stock must form a base, in order to consider buying the stock.  Given Facebook’s especially poor price action, even under those conditions, it would be wise to wait for Facebook’s next earnings report along with the three month lockup period expiration.  For the intermediate term speculators who already purchased the stock, do not change your time frame to that of a long term investor.  If you are not familiar with IPO bases, review the early stage base formation (not the latest correcting action) in recent IPOs KORS, GNC, INVN, TNGO, and SYNC.
