Speaking of the stock market... The notion that it's completely rigged is confirmed. |

MoreThe record will show that Facebook stock ended its first day of trading at $38.23, a gain of 23 cents above its IPO price. What it won't show is the unbelievable effort by its underwriters to hold the stock price above the $38 level for a huge part of the day. What is this? "Too big to fail" all over again?

Yeah, e-trade got me 1,000 shares at 38 before it opened. I was planning on holding for a few days, but didn't like what I saw on Friday. It's definitely true that the underwriters were propping it up to keep from dropping under 38. They had huge bids at 38. |

Just private money involved here, so no. |
