Many fewer people in North America were awake and on HN two hours ago. Timing is key.
I wonder what the optimal time is to post to HN. Do people usually wake up, check HN and then go about their day? If so, around 9-10:30AM EST? Or maybe if most HNers come from the west coast, would it be 9 - 10:30AM PST?
When you have good content and your luck is at its maximum.

I just went to finance.google.com myself and then thought it would be interesting to HN users and posted it right away. And to be honest I didn't check the "new" queue for already submitted links. Regarding the accidental split test I think the "NASDAQ:FB" title is somehow more appealing.
I didn't mean to sound like I had a problem with it. The situation kicked off an interesting thread where I learned about a new and interesting site. If I had a problem, it would have vanished by now. :)

I think I missed a couple of smileys in my comment, I just wanted to share my posting process because I liked the split test bit :)
Of course then we'd end up with flame threads where people say things like "we need a 'being an obtuse jerk' button for the OP."
My bet is FB closes somewhere between $55 and $65. Anyone else fancy making a prediction?
[ edit: stuck an upper limit on my prediction to make it more interesting :) ]
ok, so this started happening last night for me and some friends I pinged: I clicked on a picture (multiple of them!) and each time I see this shit: http://postimage.org/image/rvdiya58z/full/ I say Facebook IS in a lot of financial troubles!!
The Nasdaq will be FLOODED with orders when FB begins trading. Will be interesting to see how their systems handle every algorithmic trading machine on the planet trading FB's stock...
This isn't necessarily true. Many algorithmic trading strategies are driven by correlations between historical prices, none of which exist yet for FB.

Look here for good times to post: http://hnpickup.appspot.com/ Hope this helps. :)
Is that yours? It's quite nice, but the spelling and grammar is off. ("Averge" instead of Average, "now it's bad time" instead of now it's a bad time) Sorry to nitpick but that was what inmediately jumped at me.
