Facebook IPO, Wednesday. Would you buy?
Facebook is looking to go public Wednesday with its first IPO. It will be the first time the web user site will be selling stock to the public. IPO means the first time a company starts to sell shares of its company to the public through the stock exchange. It seems to be a real great idea. How much would you all be willing to pay for a share of facebook to become an owner? Do you think there's money to be made here? How much would you all buy? I know that facebook is a real great site and so many people use it, but an example of a an IPO a couple months ago was Groupon and they were also very liked by the public and many people used it. It went public selling shares and two weeks in the shares of the company began to loose value and not do well at all. Do you think this kind of thing could happen to facebook? Check out the site:

I have been reading a lot about the IPO that Facebook filed today. I for one will definitely be buying some stock in them because for the foreseeable future it will be a website that is used everyday by millions of people. It is estimated to be worth 100 billion dollars because of its huge amounts of users and because of how much advertisements the site can provide. Unfortunately, you will not be able to buy the stock yet because they only filed the IPO today and it will not actually be trading until April or May. The stock price is estimated to be in the rage of 30-45 dollars a share so it isn't going to be that cheap or easy for a college student to invest in but if you have a few hundred laying around it is a must buy. and for those who don't know much about IPO's, be careful when you buy it because on its first day of trading it is going to skyrocket and then drop to a reasonable price because of the huge demand for it. How much are most people willing to pay for it?
