Default Facebook IN on One IPO thread

Good luck to anyone looking at FB, according to my online account 25% of the shares I requested will be purchased on Open. Pretty cool to be able to get in on an IPO as a retail customer.

Anyway hopefully this turns into a windfall for some of us here. Missing out on Google is one of my big regrets.

Good to hear!

I'll post up as soon as I know what I received. Will be interesting to see if the demand is just a bunch of "flippers" or will it be buy and hold (thus a rising price). My guess is BOTH... and if there's not a big pop -- then some of the air will come rushing out.

That's awesome you guys got an allocation. I received notice from my broker that I got a whopping 0 of the 2000 shares I requested. Oh well, the opening will be fun to watch!

Default Facey Book IPO

It acted as I suspected -- a giant ho hum. I did buy an additional 600 shares for a total of 1000. That will be my total - and I plan to hold them and just see if in the next two or three years they go anywhere.
