Does anybody have any information on the FBOOK IPO date, I have heard speculation of it being in 2011?

Also any thoughts on the price, I keep thinking of $100, the same as googles

Facebook board member, venture capitalist and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel told Reuters on Monday that the company is looking at making an initial public offering sometime after late 2012. With more than half a billion users and a massive online presence, investors are likely to be extremely interested in getting a bite of Facebook.

Well the unfortunate thing is that the longer they wait to go public, the higher the value of the stock, i want to buy it 5 years ago

This will be an IPO worth owning as long as the pricing is right. Before jumping into the name, you have to evaluate the stock based on the enterprise value (and the present value of the cash flow stream ) at the timing of the IPO to be able to asses what the stock will likely earn in the future. You have to remember that you are interested on what the company is going to earn, not what it earned.

The underwriters will most likely want to price this as high as possible, but even at a 'high price', Facebook could be a stock worth owning, again, as long as the pricing is right.

If I were Zuckerberg, I wouldn't take Facebook public, but the greater forces will force him to - to much money on the line.

if you have a proven, successful private company, why would you want to take it public?

Simply, to get more money without having to borrow it.

what do they do that makes money? I've used facebook for over two years now and have never dropped a dime in it. Is it just ad revenue?
