Morgan Stanley, others make $100 million profit on Facebook trades: WSJ

(Reuters) - Morgan Stanley and other underwriters have made a profit of about $100 million stabilizing Facebook stock since trading began on Friday, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Facebook's listing, envisioned as a crowning moment for an eight-year-old company that has become a business and cultural phenomenon, has instead turned into a legal and public relations fiasco for the company and its lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley.
As a lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley would receive the largest chunk of those profits arising from stabilizing Facebook's stock price, the people told the Journal. These profits come on top of millions of dollars of IPO fees, according to the newspaper.
