In
case a reminder was needed, the fallout from the Facebook IPO
illustrates that Wall Street appears to be designed to serve the

These are the same people who used hundreds or even thousands of dollars of their prized savings to bet on the stock only to have its value drop to way below its opening price of $38 per share.
