First off, I'm not on Facebook. Second, the timing of the IPO isn't great due to current market conditions. BUT, they have an expanding, and very large worldwide subscriber base( and not in China yet ) If they can continue to figure out how "monetize" their business, in the long run $38 will be a very.very cheap entry point.

Maybe the Philippines misses those US military bases they decided to get rid of.

I guess it's survival depends on food supply and Tokyo Bay's summer temperatures. If those two things are OK, why not leave it alone?

" Japanese people tend to have a more sensitive palette as well..."
Doubt if there's any science to back that up. Another example of "We're different from everyone else".

"Dimon said the type of trading that led to the $2 billion loss would not be banned by the so-called Volcker rule, which will ban certain types of trading by banks with their own money."
From the guy who constantly rails against more financial regulation. This episode might put a muzzle on him.

In return for the cash injection they will have majority voting control. But the question is how much control will they exercise? Will they be able to say no or will they simply rubber stamp whatever TEPCO decides. That's what's important here.

"Religious conservatives will likely condemn Obama for his move..."
Always roll my eyes when I hear the religious right speak about the "sacred" institution of marriage between men and women. You know, that sacred institution which includes hign divorce rates, spousal abuse and cheating. Very sacred indeed.

"...he lasted only six innings against the Indians."
Six innings is about all most starters are expected to last.. And 4-1 with a 2.54 ERA still isn't bad to say the least.
