...and we're at 38. No one should be surprised - this IPO is purely for investors and founders to cash out. As have the vast majority of recent IPOs. I just wanted single share bragging rights.

Chat I yesterday had with a
Chat I yesterday had with a VERY reputable source:
Me: Thoughts on the FB IPO?
H: Will be insane, maybe because everyone expects it to pop on the IPO. It will initially drop and the sky rocket. I think it hits $100BN valuation, within hours.
me: you gonna buy?
H: No way, that is too expensive, for $1BN in earnings. ESPECIALLY when their earnings dropped YOY, for Q1, 2012. It will likely open ~$70BN
Me: Thoughts on a short?
H: Bad short bc people are idiots, and you may lose all your money, before it comes back down to earth,
H: everyone expects it to just skyrocket up, which is most likely scenario
H: but because of that, i think it may slightly srop and then skyrocket, either way, i'd be surprised if it didnt hit $100bn valuation tomorrow
Me: wow big one
H: yeah, huge, and the thing is - they only had $1 BN in earnings in 2011
H: that is a P/E of 100!!!
H: It's stupid, but if you short it, you could get really burned, if it keeps climbing to insane levels like $130BN, etc, because every mom & pop investor is trying to get their hands on shares. bc brand is so strong
Me: So good to stay away?
H:Yeah, if you have $10k to invest - throw it in Goog or Apple (they lost 15% in last 2 weeks)

Been trying to get someone to loan me some shares. At this point might as well wait for the options exchanges to work it out and pick up some puts. Probably gonna take 2 weeks though. This is a dog with fleas, as Mr. Gekko would say.

I think we will see a low
I think we will see a low 40's close. Lot's of folks want to own this because of the "what-if" factor. What if they figure out a better way to monetize their treasure trove of data. What if they can get users to buy more. What if they can engage businesses in more direct spend? $38.00 values them at $0.10/user. That may be a reason to be bullish. I'd get in for $38.00 - $40.00 just to see what happens.
Almost $40 again.
Almost $40 again.
Fidelity placed the trade for
Fidelity placed the trade for me right at 11:30am est. They have a stake in the company, so you might be able to place an order through them. They also are allowing market orders, whereas some other options (OptionsHouse, Interactive Brokers, etc) are only allowing limit orders.
