Facebook shares, which opened up 11 percent, closed at US$ 38.23 after a nail-biting last half hour of trading when the shares dipped to their US$ 38 IPO price. Most investors had predicted a first-day pop. More than 576 million shares changed hands, setting a trading volume record for U.S. market debuts. The company had priced its IPO at the top end of its target range and increased the size of the offering, becoming the first U.S. company to go public with a valuation greater than US$ 100 billion. But the stock debut took place in a weak market, and traders said the smaller-than-expected first-day pop reflected the very aggressive pricing of the offering and a last-minute, near 25 percent increase in the number of shares being sold. Analyst predictions of first-day gains had ranged from 10 percent to 50 percent.

It follows an inconclusive election ten days ago. In the meantime, a caretaker government is to be led by a senior judge, Panayiotis Pikramenos. The main Greek political parties had failed to form a coalition government following the last poll, amid deadlock over whether to continue with the austerity measures required by an international bailout agreement. Correspondents say that if anti-austerity party wins the new vote, it could jeopardise Greece's membership of the Eurozone -- a prospect that international leaders are now openly discussing.

Catch my first segment on Bloomberg from last week. Watch me shock the host by suggesting that investors look for a ten to twenty-year hold on their investments, then I explained why higher unemployment could mean risk premiums long-term for investors. I love to give the hosts the unexpected answers, not just more prognostications and predictions.

The agency said Chinese authorities had already begun to move some of the debt to the central government's balance sheet. But despite the debt woes, Fitch remains relatively upbeat about China's economic outlook.
