You have to remember that what everyone is calling the Facebook IPO from May was actually a secondary.
The IPO took place in oak-paneled conference rooms here in NY and at Peet’s Coffee & Tea out in Menlo Park or whatever.

And the astonishing thing is that, one by one, each of these “early” investors is watching their paper profits get wiped out.
