The chief executive of Nasdaq said the stock exchange is "humbly embarrassed" by its bungling of Facebook's hugely anticipated debut as a public company on Friday.


Robert Greifeld told news media there was no indication the delay contributed to the underwhelming performance of Facebook's stock, which ended at 38.23 US dollars - 23 cents above where it began.
