Mr. Zuckerberg I Salute you and your Hoodie

I don’t claim to know all there is about investing and investors and companies going public. I do, however, know a lot about business and supply and demand. And as for all of this hullabaloo around Marck Zuckerberg and his hoodie, I completely understand… But as for the news outlets that are just reporting the surface facts, they are completely missing the point.

A Movie Review of Marvel’s Avengers and my Geek Pride shines through More Than Ever

He’s commissioned a state-owned Chinese company to construct the ship. But wait, there’s more, he’s going to build it with the exact dimensions of the original ship, you know, the one that’s at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Doesn’t this seem a bit odd?

Doesn’t it seem like he’s really tempting fate here?
