You are right. 

 

Sold some of my apples to increase the number of fb stock I would be willing to purchase. 

 

GLTA.

I'll be happy to eat crow if I'm wrong ..... alas I'm going to laugh when retail has to learn their lesson yet again when it comes to these social media IPO's.

Run for weeks?

 

I say this has a huge pop on the open as market orders flood the exchange from 50,000 noobs who have never bought a stock before.

 

Followed by a swoon down to the opening price. The following week FB drifts higher as Goldman Sachs defend the price so they look good, but as the unlock for majority of insiders nears... down it goes.

Have my conditional bid in.  

 

I will not buy any on the open market on Friday.  Will open up way to high to maintain the price ever for the short term 1-2 months, IMO.  Best to get in much later as a long term investment.

For the sake of the thousands of first time stock buyers that are going to be buying FB on Friday, I hope so.

 

Goldman Sachs and friends will be supporting the stock, the last thing they want is a bad IPO of this stature, but how long can the keep it at the inflated levels?

You have your "conditional" bid in? Do you mean a limit price? I would also like to know how you would put in a bid. How can you place a future value on price when it hasn't opened yet? Thanks.

I hadn't thought about Goldman Sachs support for the following week and I'm thinking you are correct.

Goldman Sachs has a huge position in this, think of it this way, even if it costs them $50M to absorb some selling, they will be able to unload their holdings higher if they can control the momentum.

 

Being Goldman Sachs, they will probably also short the hell out of it if they see big sell orders coming in, they make money on both sides.

Better go ahead and place your limit order for one share at $1000 so you'll be ready on Friday!

 

Is this talking about not taking IPO orders? http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/17/net-us-facebook-ipo-order-close-idUSBRE84F1A120120517  I assume they cant stop taking orders once it is on the open market.

I read insiders are going to sell in droves within the first few days of the IPO release, lol. I'm not going to be messing around with FB, maybe I'll snag a couple of shares. I think the stock might do fairly well, but Facebook doesn't really produce anything, they just sell personal information to companies and marketers.

I haven't seen what the rules are for insiders. Most of the time with an IPO, employees of the company are not allowed to sell for some time. Groupon employees still haven't been able to sell their shares, poor guys.

Well I was reading about Zuckerberg, Moskovitz, etc etc being able to sell and what their profit would look like.  I think it might be a certain % they're allowed to.
