2012, for Mark Zuckerberg, should be a year being remembered. On May 18, surrounded by numerous employees and fans, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company’s headquarters in California sounded the opening bell of NASDAQ. This is one of the few exceptions of Nasdaq, allowing Facebook to declare being listed via the remote technology rather than the headquarters in Times Square of New York. In October of this year, Facebook website announced that its number of users exceeded 10 million. Perhaps in the eyes of users, Facebook still has great vitality; but in Wall Street, it has been controversial. Facebook, as the largest technology company IPO in the history of the United States, was listed, which was an event long waited by Wall Street. Many people considered it as another Google, expecting it can inject new energy for the U.S. stock market. However, in the day of IPO, Facebook, with the issue price of $ 38, eventually closed only at $ 38.23 and had been unable to return to the issue price levels since then. And even part of rating companies raised it to “sell” level. Soon after being listed, Facebook has become the target of public criticism. Investors sued Facebook and its underwriters, saying that they have been misled. In December of this year, the main underwriter of Facebook IPO Morgan Stanley, due to its selectively disclosure of Facebook’s revenue data to some analysts and having not opened to the public, it therefore agreed to pay a fine of $ 5,000,000 to the Massachusetts securities regulator. In fact, Facebook does not look like not knowing the troubles it faces. In its prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Facebook disclosed a variety of risks that they are facing and they may face. Facebook mentioned business risks in the prospectus, including: the vast majority of a company’s revenue comes from advertising; the loss or decrease of advertisers will cause serious damage to the business. Since no ads are placed in mobile products currently, the growth of users visiting Facebook through mobile products is likely to have a negative impact on the performance of the company. Clearly, the next step that Facebook needs to solve is how to earn more money in the mobile user who continued to surge. As one of the few areas that cannot normally visit and use Facebook, we can hardly comment too much on the IPO and such a website that has directly or indirectly affected people’s lives. Most players play online games for fun and they almost play every day. So the gold is used up soon, they have to buy in Guild Wars 2 Gold, Guild Wars 2 Gold and Guild Wars 2 Gold Sale.
