Facebook IPO, Ya'll buying?



facebook will be old news by then. makes me laugh how everyone is still buying into tech and this app/cloud shit.
 
Nope. For example, it goes on the market for $60, and by the time a simpleton like me gets to execute a trade, it'll probably be $210.

Fuck that. Chinese solar for me!

It depends on the underwriters. I can probably get some if it's Morgan Stanley. If my broker doesn't show me the love, then I won't be buying at the open market price. I'm thinking that they won't value the Facebook IPO as low as the LinkedIn one, though.
 
I'm going to try to get in with a broker before open market, but the way I see it, Facebook's financials are in order to be a successful company (pre burst) Even If I buy at $200 a share, I think we will still see massive 6-12 month growth with the possibility of a few splits.

I know a few people that made out very well with the Google IPO.

Its going to get so much fucking press every noob in the world is going to be buying stock, I'm just hoping to ride it for a few weeks / months and then bail.
 
Unless you got lots of money already invested with whoever brokers the deal I doubt there'll be much of an advantage to get in it. They do have a good shot at growth and the stock could go up well if so.
 
Lol most of you homos know jack about IPOs, it's not a matter of scraping together a couple grand and then letting it ride on the open market. I'll be surprised if a handful of WFers even get a chance to get in on the deal...

I have a lot more than a few grand with Morgan Stanley plus a long history with my adviser and it's highly questionable if I will be able to get in on any of the upcoming IPO's even if MS is underwriting. LinkedIn QED.
 
Yeah, $100 probably won't get too many shares once Facebook hits the open market.
I'll have plenty enough for investing in Facebook shares. The question is, though, what's the point? Choices are:


  1. Make 100% ROI probably overnight through AM. Have the money in my account in a week, with barely any charges.
  2. Invest in Facebook, make probably about the same, maybe a bit more, over a longer period of time. Extra waiting time for it to be sold and the money transferred to my b/a. Fees for both buying and selling, plus transfer fees.
Hmmm...
