also, I've been thinking about o7media's $50 target for the past few hours, it may not be as far fetched as I had initially thought. I am raising my Facebook IPO target from 40-43 to 43-47 (not that my targets mean anything.. lol)

GL man, I've never bought into an IPO and never will thanks to the movie Boiler Room 

But seriously, I'm waiting for options. Typically options are available about a week after it IPO's. Is there a minimum amount of time for them? Or is it just based on volume and share holders? If that's the case then it could be sooner for FB.

I will say one set of factors/variables that are beneficial to FB is the fact that people are familiar with it. It is common knowledge among all people. The following fact is that people are always more comfortable placing their investments with something familiar. This could be even more relative considering that people who are unfamiliar with the market would be wanting to place bets on something they are very familiar with. Doesn't mean it's going to the moon, but eh, does have small affects on price stability.. 

People wanting to dump the first day/week could end up looking like noobs too.

here's a lil tip that I've been following (one of the best traders I know told me this) with regards to IPO (and yes it has worked almost every time)...

When a company announces that an IPO is expected to open at say $20, then a few days/weeks later leading up to the IPO it increases it to $25, you can bet your ass it will open $25+, and probably safe to go long at open.

When an IPO is within or meets the expected price at IPO, probably a good idea to stay away or short.

Bloodbath, both sides..

With 50k $$ and flipping them first few days, you could make a lot..

looks like they going to have a runner here.........

fb everyone I know using it,on the penny stock side, I been following  MBDE.it went up 1000% today....I was going to buy some I did not..... unreal.... im going to buy some fb asap.I still think it will be a runner then pull back.............. alot of people say it wont, but im not one to follow a crowd.I usually do what my gut feeling is........its worked 70% of the time for me......happy trading.

What are some other stocks that stand to gain today riding the coat tails of this IPO?

Zynga for sure. I'm also thinking Pandora might see some benefit and help it run-up to earnings.

Looks like the CIA's "Facebook" program is paying of well. Data mining has never been easier.

I guess it is then.  Thanks charulz!

Some of you are not looking at nor are you considering the structure of an IPO correctly, especially in regards to what they're designed to do in the short-term ..... This is one with $2.24 billion in previous privately funded money who will be actively seeking to recoup their investment after footing the bill for so long.   Not to mention there's a total of $1.07 Billion worth of companies (not sure if that includes Instagram valued at $1 billion) they acquired who I'm sure got stock in their deals.  These entities are not going to hold with Retail to support the prices which means retail in all likelihood will not be able to carry this ball long enough.  Enter at your own risk.  Smart money will be waiting on lower prices.

Going to be a very interesting few trading days. Tons of people wanting to get in, tons more probably looking to cash out big profits.

all the major market indexes are weak.

it is unlikely that even the mighty facebook will outperform the NASDAQ100.

tough time to be facing an IPO.

I've heard several people say that one reason everything is weak is the impending FB IPO. It takes a lot of selling to raise the $100 billion+ to buy FB shares.
