People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
Maybe FB could do a dutch auction like google did. Unless you have a large account with the underwriter the chances of you getting any IPO shares are slim to none.
Theres currently no reason for FB to go public. They finally have solid revenue streams, they did their previous rounds at high valuations, Zucks has already taken some money from a round to get some liquidity on his side, and they have stopped giving options to new employees. As well most VC funds with equity realize this fact and it looks like they will roll the investment over into new funds, also its kinda a hip thing in those communities to "have shares", mostly bc other crazy funds will bid up the price to get some on the secondary market.
In conclusion youre gonna be waiting awhile.
Zucks has been quoted as saying "when the times right", which means prob not for a while.
obv they will ponzi it off to their retarded user base via some facebook app at the peak of the bubble. or if we're lucky they'll mistime and mark "hey i'm a genius i didn't just get lucky look i made a movie about myself starring justin timberlake only geniuses make movies about themselves" z will end up broke on the streets
I have no clue if you were serious about this or not, but I'm with you either way.
I thought I might be the only one who doesn't actually see any "value" in Facebook. They don't have a real product, it's a fad. If I was Zuckerberg, I'd sell the company before the ship sinks and it's worthless.
I get the "idea" of Facebook and how big it could POSSIBLY be, but I think at the end of the day it will become another MySpace. It's tough to take a service like Facebook and actually assign real value to it.
You can buy shares right now through SharesPost.com. However, since you're buying from people who currently own portions of Facebook, the price depends on their personal valuation of what its worth. In some cases, their valuations are ridiculous.

If I buy some shares, and Zuckerstein(or whatever that geeks name is) never takes the company public, do I still have an owneship stake in the company? Are the shares still worth something?
Sorry for the tremendously late response. Yes they are still an ownership portion of the company, so they are still worth that percentage of the company's worth, even if never taken public.

facebook's worth nothing, it will come and go.
Agree. Remember not long ago Myspace was all the rage-who uses that now?
