Facebook股票跌破其每股38美元的首发价引发一片哗然，但风险投资家比尔•古尔利提醒我们，跌破发行价并不一定意味着该股票从此将一蹶不振。他在上周五在Twitter上发布了下面这条消息：

    In all the hubbub over Facebook (FB) shares falling below their $38 IPO price, venture capitalist Bill Gurley reminds us that such a "break" does not necessarily mean that the stock is a long-term dud. From a tweet late Friday:

    与Facebook的情形一样，当初亚马逊（Amazon）的承销商们也在首次公开发行前上调了发行价区间，最终定价为每股18美元。在第4个交易日，亚马逊跌破发行价，低收于每股17.12美元。随后一天的情况更加糟糕，收于每股16.75美元。而事实上，亚马逊在上市后的前13个交易日中，有5天的收盘价都低于自身发行价。

    而且，正如古尔利所言，亚马逊连续两个月的收盘价都低于其首个交易日的收盘价（每股20.75美元）。

    但亚马逊并未因此一蹶不振。就在不久前，该公司的股票交易价约为每股219美元。所以Facebook的粉丝们不妨放宽心，它还有机会翻盘……

    Like Facebook, Amazon's (AMZN) underwriters had raised the offering range prior to IPO, ultimately pricing at $18 per share. It then "broke" on its fourth day of trading, closing down at $17.12 per share. The following day was even worse, closing at $16.75 per share. In fact, Amazon shares closed below their offering price for 5 of its first 13 days of trading.

    And, to Gurley's point, it closed below the closing price on its first day of trading ($20.75) for two months.

    But none of that doomed Amazon stock to a lifetime of mediocrity. As of last check, the company's stock was trading at around $219. So take comfort Facebook fans, not all is (necessarily) lost...
