Zuckerberg Does NOT File a Prenup



Mark Zuckerberg married long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan Saturday.  What a surprise after Facebook just went public with the IPO launch on Friday.

"Mark Zuckerberg does NO file a prenup" is the headlines I hope to see over the coming weeks.  It would be nice to see a celebrity couple get married without worrying about what money they move IF they get divorced.  Marriage is a sacred commitment that should supersede financial considerations.  You should get married because you love your companion and you are willing to share everything with that person.

What do you think?  Should you get a prenuptial agreement just because there is a large amount of money in play?  Or should you go into a marriage relationship with a mindset that you will be married for better or worse and richer or poor?

Facebook IPO Falls Flat




The introduction of Facebook onto Wall Street began with a flop.  As the opening trading day came to a close, the share price for Facebook was back where it started, at $38.00.

I have personally witnessed activity from my Facebook friends steadily declining over the last year.  It seems like people are not as interested in sharing their daily activities as frequently as they once did on the dominant social network.  Have people started to spend more time on Twitter?  On Google Plus?  On Pinterest?

How will this lack of activity play out as we move forward?  I have a feeling Facebook will have a hard time growing from here on out.  As a result, I am not planning on purchasing any shares of newly minted IPO.  Not that I would buy single shares as I believe in buying a vast selection of companies and investing in the long haul.

Where do you think the share price will head next?
