I don't think the official price has been announced but it's going to be more than $19 for sure. The only way to get it "for cheap" is if you got a million sitting in a JP Morgan / Goldman Sachs account to actually get in on that initial offering tongue.gif

 

If you're like me, you'll be rushing to buy it out of the gate for a 50% premium......

For something this hyped, wouldn't you expect it to be very volatile the first few days? I can see it going for a 50% premium initially, but I feel like its going to soon be way oversold and tank, then come back and so on. I might try to play the volatility some, especially if they give us options.

If it follows some other IPOs I've seen the first 2-3 days will be very volatile, especially the first day. But you probably won't have a chance for an option play. I plan on buying the stock at the open and see if it rises a good bit that day and maybe sell and buy on the dip.

Looks like May is the date, trading of shares on Second Market have ended, so the time is nearing.

 

 

 

SAN FRANCISCO | Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:18pm EDT

 

(Reuters) - Social-networking site Facebook is halting the sale of its shares on secondary markets effective next week as the company prepares to hold its initial public offering in May, according to a person familiar with the matter.

 

Facebook recently asked firms that arrange trading of its privately held shares to stop doing so, a move intended to reduce churn in its valuation that could complicate matters as it sets an IPO price, according to another person familiar with the matter.

 

Facebook is planning to raise $5 billion in an offering that could value the company at up to $100 billion, making it the largest IPO in Silicon Valley history.

$40/share puts it around the 100 billion mark. Don't be surprised to see this stock trading at over $100 within a few hours. I'm absolutely torn whether I should get in on this or not, it will be ridiculously over priced long before the public ever gets its hands on it. I signed up for Sharespost.com about a year ago trying to get a piece, but you are required to have millions and be an approved investor by the SEC.

Following the tradition of big tech companies like Google and Apple, Facebook has reportedly chosen to list its shares on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "FB." The report comes from The New York Times, which cites Facebook insiders "with knowledge of the matter."

We can now jot down the date for hypemageddon: May 17

 

From Tech Crunch:

"This just in: According to multiple sources close to the company, Facebook is eyeing IPO on May 17th — depending on whether the SEC agrees that all the reams of paperwork are in order.  This is in line with earlier reports that the company was going to hit NASDAQ during the third week of May."

Jumping in after awhile...

 

The article says "...20% gains in the first day..."

 

I'd expect much higher than that...not sure I'll be able to get in, though.

Stalemate.

Excerpt from StreetInsider article, linked beneath... bolded an interesting bit, their take is that extra shares have been put out there to dampen the first day pop seen in recent IPOs that fade quickly, with LNKD being a recent example (80 to 120 then down to 50s I think before stabilizing):

One overlooked fact in the Facebook IPO is that unlike any other IPO in history, Facebook has created an entire cottage industry that traded its stock pre-IPO. The benefit of an IPO is the 'liquidity premium'. However, the liquidity in Facebook was already there pre-IPO due to the secondary exchanges. Also, the valuation was being set on almost a daily basis - another thing that could limit the upside.

Given the valuation premium already granted to the company, the fact is, it needs to "grow" into its already high valuation.

In addition to the liquidity premium already existing, it is pretty clear that the company may be trying to keep a lid on the upside – seemingly trying to avoid a one day pop then crash. By raising the offering size 25 percent recently, this suggests that the company is trying to keep up with the massive demand.

All this being said, it would not be crazy for the stock to pop 25% tomorrow. We see the IPO popping 10-20% upon the open and then fading and settling into a valuation around $90-$120 billion until we get some solid growth numbers.
