I had my wife call our financial advisor at Edward Jones to buy some FB. He said only millionaires today and general public starts Monday. He also advised us to wait a couple of weeks before buying.

It was "millionaires day" yesterday. Find a new advisor if he doesn't even know when an IPO like Facebook opens up.

This part is probably decent advice but the whole millionaire thing is garbage! |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile kind of a disappointing opening... lol I believe the steakhouse Smith & Wolenskis took this approach when they opened in the 70's. They told people who called them that they were booked solid but if you showed up they might be able to get you in. People showed up, got a table and then bragged to their friends that they got in. |

Quoted: Quoted: I can't buy until it hits the secondary market. I'm a "restricted person." Why is that? I work for a broker/dealer. ETA: FINRA Rule 5130 prohibits "restricted persons” from purchasing new issue offerings. The term "restricted person” generally includes associated persons of member firms, including owners, employees and registered representatives, as well as their immediate family members, control persons and affiliates of the broker/dealer. In other words, all restricted persons are prohibited from purchasing an IPO prior to trading on the secondary market. Please note that you are allowed to purchase the security in the secondary market on the day it starts trading on the secondary market. |

At any rate I am still going to take his advice and wait a few weeks.

I don't get Facebook's valuation at all. I get the *value* in Facebook, but I don't see how it is "worth" $110b. Consider WMT and GOOG are valued at $200b
To me it just seems like a very public cash out for the investors - which - good for them. Realistically, I think it should have been priced around $15/share for as many shares as they are offering up - plus they have no real profits either for what their valuation is. |

I didn't realize that today was the first day of public trading. I'm not too interested in FB anyways. |

Just in the U.S. last year, companies spent over 200 billion in advertising. FB is able to advertise across the world reaching its 1 billion consumers for a small % of what a company is willing to spend to only reach a few states in the U.S. |

If you are smart enough, you can figure out how to advertise to an (almost) specific person. I wanted to advertise my product to staff at a particular business in Chicago, of whom maybe executive level - with the right settings on your ads, you can find these people. But, I doubt it is great for everyone. |

It does seem like a stock that you would short. Buddy called me that didn't know anything about stocks. I told him he can try and short it if he has brokerage or if he can buy and dump.
I don't think this is a long term investment stock. Seems like a lot of people in this thread think the same. |
