by Michael Tarsala

Markets are in flux. Perhaps the world's most popular trade -- gold -- is breaking down. Volatility is near levels not seen since January.

Yet the hottest markets story, by far, remains the Facebook IPO.

In case you've been under a rock, this mini-musical will get you up to speed:

And here's a best-of selection of Facebook posts from around the blogosphere:
