FB prices at $28 to $35 per share

Anyone buying?  I might try to buy a small # under 40 and flip it the same day.  This thing is going to climb fast, but I would not be surprised if it goes red by the 2nd day. 

I'd consider maybe trying to scalp the options depending on when they start trading.

LOL... baaaa baaa little sheep?

Hype is great, as it wears off :)  -- I shall not look at this for a week or when shorting becomes available. Wont be hard to borrow in the end eh.

Does that mean on the 18th is when you can buy it on the open market, a Friday?

Also, let's assume that one wanted to gamble with $200, what's the best way to get in at the open?  Can you place an order for market value before the bell without putting in a dollar amount or number or shares and have it purchase whatever amount you can get for the opening price?  Or do you have to guestimate the price to figure out the exact number of shares that you want at "market" price?

Gap Up then down talking in months, but whats with years..

i dont like FB, long ago, had a account few months and blah

time killer, 'express yourself' post you tube clips and statuses aso

(what i more like to do here )

but you also can do business there or a great Forex Signals Service as example.

Because lot of people use it..

But to stay at express yourself..

FB its just a beginning. IF FB survives im sure you will have a FB Credit Card or

can make some restaurant payment over the FB account

or buy a HOUSE ;)

IF a FB user has a timeline from 5-10 years, and with 900 mil users lets say active 500

thats enough time that you can achieve for a company, to be binded with the customer.

So, a lot of the users will grow up and go away but there will be always new flesh to come.

I know the argument 'my space died'

but my space was crappy but innovative for this time and hard to navigate. FB too, but still better..

And its a another time. Much more users. And older people, and institutions.

And much more dumb people..And more centralized all. And hype. And McDonalds is also still alive..

So i will not buy them but i think a will watch them a long time.

With good management this company can last a long time and earn money, thats what im sure about.

Or slow death till 10 years

and i remember exactly the time when a friend of mine said,

hey have a look i found this new search engine. Google, they are cool.

Google, go away, Altavista ,, who is Google.. What do you talking about..

ps. I love Goggle, i admit it..

So much things, and all for free. But who cares..

IIRC, my Schwab account lets me purchase X dollars of stock, and it figures the quantity. I wouldn't suggest a market order though. It wouldn't be fun if it IPOs at 30, you get in at 50, and then it starts to trail off back to 30 or something. Put a limit on that order, and if the market is less than your limit at the time of sale, you'll get market price.

gonna be $100 by the time retail gets to buy

Seems like only a crazy person would buy at $100?

I've got my pool of shares I purchased on the secondary market already locked up.  Those I'll hang on to for a little while (I purchased them below their initial price, thankfully).

I've got IPO shares carved out with my broker.  They're actually going to make me follow the rules on how long I hold those this time (unusual), so I'll have em for a bit.

....but I'm gonna be flipping the hell out of everything I retail that first day. 

We (little retail investors) won't be able to buy until the stock is reaching high's where the institutional investors are selling a portion of their shares they gobbled up at IPO prices. 

IMO; as soon as you are able to buy, start shorting! LOL, just for a day or two, then consider going long after the sheep are done ballooning the PPS and sell off, leaving the PPS closer to IPO pricing. Stuff moves fast these days; this cycle may only take a few days to happen.

So hypothetically if us small investors could get our hands on this for a quick turnaround...what price would be good to invest in?

Because I'm sure it's going to be way up there after it hits the market and something we shouldn't invest in at such a high price.

Nobody knows, especially because for a while there won't be any historical data to base tech analysis on. Any plays on FB right after open will be pure gambles trying to play the volatility. My best guess would be that if it opens high or shoots high really fast on the first day, then you could try to short it. Again, pure gamble. If you short at what looks like a good time and it goes up another 25%, that could be costly.

Anybody involved in E*trades FB IPO offering?

What's wrong with getting in with Etrades IPO offering?  I made request for min 50 shares couple days ago
