first: The first issue is the feds holding out on announcing more investment (or atleast i believe thats whats happening)
If this is what is happening the feds need to get there head screwed on properly and look at the american economy. It is not ready to not have backing, it still needs help and can not be left by itself. The economy is still unstable and will not be able to cope. What with the recent predictions for a troubled future for europe this is really the last thing global markets need. We need security and we need the feds to carry on backing and supporting.
second:nasdaq's fine
I appreciate NASDAQ made some errors and caused some problems but was it enough to cause the biggest fine on a stock trading market ever??? Of course not. The fact of the matter is that the facebook ipo was a bit of a flop and the stock has gone on to be troubled to say the least, is that NASDAQ's fault??? No. Give NASDAQ a break and allow start asking some questions about the leadership, zuckerberg is an inventor not a business man and there is a massive difference there and what with sandberg off preaching about the joys of women working facebook needs some changes high up.
