Great start to this venture. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/joris-luyendijk-banking-blog/2012/may/18/facebook-ipo-banks-role Quote But why did Facebook engage so many banks? Two reasons, says the MD, one openly talked about, one an open secret: "Banks have different client bases – relationships with particular investors. More banks means more coverage. Two: each bank has research analysts writing reports for investors recommending them to buy or sell a share. With all the top analysts from all the big banks on board, you won't get dissenting voices". Is it insider trading if practically any bank with a name is involved in bringing Facebook to Wallstreet? Perhaps from a moral/ethical point of view, but it's not clear from a legal point of view. Don't expect rolling heads of big names in this case. If there is a case. If this is insider trading, you could lock the entire Wallstreet behind bars.

Find your own truth & spread the love Word. I hope you're right. I guess I am just edging into the age where I'm too jaded to believe that there any truly viable long-term alternatives to the shittiness. Yeah, I hope so too. I think any system of government functions perfectly in an enlightened populace, and representative democracy is fine, with the proper safeguards/social programs in place. So I hope my weird gut feeling that we are accelerating towards inner peace is true, and we just make the system we have (which works in so many ways!) perfect. Don't get jaded! Try to open yourself to the good, and reject the bad.
