			<description><![CDATA[Thanks Reggie. Of course you know it is more than that. The ability to front for $500 million of anonymous Russian mafia free cash and be able to control such paper as Market Maker is the stuff that dreams are made of....and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Capping and Trading carbon dioxide in shell-game forests came close, but this $50Billion short derivatives and swaps built on %50 Billion val should tide them over for awhile.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is likely that this is a precursor to an IPO, but if so one can assume it will be at the utmost top valuation. The fees that GS is currently charging, IMO, are outrageous, particularly at the stated valuation.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We miss Facebook's perspective in this story. What about Zuckerberg's idealistic dream to stay a private company? How true is that? By establishing this deal with GS, it is likely that they will be forced to do an IPO very soon: "Facebook will be legally required to begin sharing more information about its finances and strategy by April 2012, according to documents distributed to prospective shareholders.", stated by Michael Liedtke, AP Technology Writer (see link to the full article below). So, will the "Facebook/GS Team" really skirt out SEC? Or are they just pumping up another avalanche for the Tech sector?

			<description><![CDATA[Goldman is buying a block of shares and contributing a portion to the SPV that will then issue its own shares to the public, in essence giving them direct exposure to the Facebook investment, at a markup of course. This is basically a method of skirting SEC registration and reporting rules.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Reggie, I'm missing something here -- sorry, a lay person with finance, but I thought that the SPV was for the HNW individuals, and it would basically be one investor (Goldman) that would be directly behind Facebook. The way your graphic looks, it's as if the HNW individuals are getting FB shares directly, and Goldman is getting access to the shares to resell them through the SPV. Can you elaborate a bit? Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The big deal is GS is ripping off it's clients. The hate is that this is wrong to do, or that it is wrong to represent this as something else than what it is. The miss representation is what is wrong. And the anger.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is amazing sometimes to read the great banking establishment's growth as the United States' replacement for manufacturing in our GDP. So much funny money and bleeding the wealth from the past. How does an investment bank get to "declare" that Facebook is worth $50 Billion. Where is the income stream or "planned" income (profit) stream to justify this. This sure brings back the memories of the '95 to '98 dot com bubble. How many internet companies with no cash flow actually survived? I agree with the post above. If this is truly HNW investors, then they are merely participating in the gambling. When the "investments" start bleeding into retirement funds, bond funds, or some new fancy named derivitive is when the public gets duped and robbed. As long as people "gamble" with THEIR own money, it is at least fair. They surely should understand the hype vs value etc. It is sad however to see how the "investment' community (Banks) are totally devoid of any ethics in how they create "funny money". Our world is now in a precarious situation as a result of the housing bubble created by them with the complicity of their "paid" politicians. With that source of easy money gone, these new future IPO deals are just one of the areas where they WILL feed their greed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[at the end of the day. if you know everyone, you know no one. "To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." — Thomas Jefferson When asked what his greatest accomplishment had been during his two terms as President, Andrew Jackson replied "I killed the Bank." He was talking about the "Second Bank of the United States", which was our country's second central bank. Maybe Obama will become the Obama we need after he leaves the shackles of the White House.]]></description>
