They're trying to avoid getting screwed like Linkedin.
Have you a link to a story about this? I'd not heard anything about LinkedIn's IPO going sour. I googled but nothing except positive stories were returned.

To say LinkedIn got screwed is to say the dot coms got screwed in 2000. Guess what? The only people that got screwed were the share holders. LinkedIn should be jumping for joy that their peice of shit company is worth anywhere near 8 billion dollars. I just feel bad for the stupid shareholders when their shares become worthless.

This behavior was common during the dot com bubble. IPOs doubled in price, everyone was happy. It's totally unrealistic.
Anyone who buys LinkedIn is retarded. Serious people that trade the market wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Sure you can trade this crap and make fist fulls of money in the short term. The venture capitalists got paid. Do not own this stock.

Unless I'm missing something, the CS Rep giving him his password in clear text does not necessarily mean it was stored in clear text.

There's a reason they say sell in May. A lot of people think in June LinkedIn is going to take a beating. But who knows really, a lot of the time it is just a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Trade like a technician.

He's saying the stock doubled in its first day of trading. Meaning the shares were offered at a price. The company sold shares at that price. The same day the value of those shares doubled. So tr market is saying the shares are worth double of the IPO (initial public offering) price. This behavior was common during the dot com bubble. IPOs doubled in price, everyone was happy. It's totally unrealistic. Anyone who buy…
Google more than tripled in the first two months that followed its IPO and it's been trading steadily at ~$550 (IPO: $87) for several years.

Obvious shorter is obvious.
