From the article:
"The danger, Ritholtz said, is that the drooping stock price could tag the company itself with a "stink of failure" that could make advertisers less willing to use Facebook."

"Decisions made by interns" = probably why FB is constantly raping user privacy. I hope.

You're naive or outright lying if you think that all HFT firms are simply doing what earlier generations of traders did, just "faster."

Agreed, but it turns the stomach a bit to read the FB fanboys slapping each other on the back about FB being a "$100B company" (and that the IPO "proves" it).
FB scored a win by getting $100B, but in my opinion it's tainted, and they may have poisoned the well for those who follow.

You are basically admitting that Zuck didn't build a valuable company, but instead he conned investors (and Main Street) out of billions (coming days and weeks will tell exactly how much). So, congratulations to him I guess.
