Yup. Once he got caught, everything went to crap.

Not much worse than busting a G string when you are wailing and whomping upon it.......

This no longer happens to me. For one thing, my Strats are incapable of breaking strings and, for the other, on my Paul, I took to the Zakk Wylde method of reversing the strings back through the tail piece and THEN up and over. I used to break strings all the time. This is a tip that truly, totally lives up to it's billing.

Maybe you can't putt because of a guilty, compromised conscience?

As I said, yes, that announcement from GM may have affected the price after trading began (though, again, I don't think it affected it much - there was a lot of other stuff going on).

But I referred to what Facebook got - the IPO price - not what happened in trading afterwards. Looking back now, it seems like the IPO was priced to perfection from FB's standpoint - they got as much as they possibly could. And, no, that IPO price wasn't going to $45 or $100 or $1,000 (i.e. had this GM announcement not come) - it couldn't have, that would have violated SEC rules.

As for a guilty conscience (I know you were joking, but...), I think it would affect my full swing much more than my putting. Outside thoughts don't creep in when I'm setting up for a putt, but they often do when I'm setting up for full swings - so much so that I had to develop a method of harnessing them rather than being distracted by them. That said, I have no idea why I would have a guilty conscience about the Facebook situation. I don't own any, I didn't recommend anyone else buy any, and I didn't make out like a bandit like the people that owned it beforehand (and sold at $38) did.

It's a fascinating game, that's for sure.
