I think what cletus is getting at is that the orchestrated IPO pop has become SOP for tech IPOs, and it's nice to see it fallible for a variety of reasons:
0. Keeps people guessing.
1. The company got most of its IPO market value, instead of having a portion extracted by Wall St. insiders.
2. The 'bubble' got popped early, which is probably a good thing for most everyone but Wall Street insiders.
3. Wall Street's ability to orchestrate asset bubbles, whether coordinated or purely emergent, and profit off them at the expense of potential crashes and financial crisies later, just took a hit.
4. There's less or no irrational exuberance this time around. The market may actually have learned from the 2000 and 2007/8 crashes.
