Unlike google where one can use it as an everyday tool.
Anyone know why Zuck is selling on the day of trading 30,000,000 of his own shares if he believes in the company, is it to raise money and pay taxes?

The Zuck knows that his product is cr@p and wants to cash out before all of his homeboys and homegirls catch on.

Is it really going to be $25 a share on May 18th?

If it does it will be pumped up in seconds. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I could get it for $25/share lol.

You won't be able to buy it for $25, but for the sake of conversation...yes.

I think this article is spot on.

News Headlines

When Facebook, the ubiquitous social networking site, hits the Nasdaq tape on May 18, it's likely that the early gains will be reaped by insider institutional investors and others who get in at the ground floor at the opening price.

I don't even think God is going to gees on the IPO" at the opening price, says Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisory in Sacramento, Calif. "It would be amazing if anybody in the retail market got any. With this high-priced of a stock, they don't typically go to the little guy, they go to the institutional traders."

Not that I think one should/shouldnt invest in FB stock, but this is a big part of the reason why I am not.

The clueless small investor herd will follow this and institutional investors will actually make the money.

Good luck

Facebook is overrated and over hyped.

It doesn't matter, all of you guys said the samething about Google. Look at Google now, over 600% up.

Any way, this is my plan I will close my eyes and buy 100 shares of FB and sell it when it goes up by $10. I will walk away with 1K. Have a nice dinner and go for massage with happy ending :-) LOL

My broker has some shares.
Whether I get any, I doubt I do.

Expected price range: $28.00 to $35.00
Expected pricing date: May 17, 2012

If the demand is there is could price higher than $35.
----------
I asked for 200 Tilly's and when the it priced at $15.50 the night before it first traded, and outside the expected range of $11.50-$13.50, I changed my request back to 100 shares.

These IPO's are not marginable.
