maybe you are looking to hold for just days/weeks to try and make 20% to 50%. high risk and in my opinion not worth it.
i'm just looking fora day trrade! just on the opening day and thats it then looking for a good old long sell after that!

I think this is what a lot of people will do come May 18th. It seems a little risky. But the general sentiment about this stock is that it will rise. Why fight that kind of optimism?

Cannot say anything about Face Book yet sine all will depend on the perception of the trades and the trading volumes that happen on the 18th May

Regardless what everyone on here says, the demand is going to be huge for this IPO. Even if it is considered overvalued (I don't think it is), sheer speculation and volume will drive this one skyward.

As a small investor though, I think you'll struggle hugely trying to come by any of this stock, and by the time you do, all the fun will be over.

Good luck.

The Facebook IPO is a little bit interesting all right.
Just after logging into to my IGIndex account for the first time in about 2 years to have a look after getting an email talking about the Facebook IPO. (I'm surprised that my account is still working and I still have a positive account balance )

Anyway it seems that you trade Facebook already with IG in some sort of a grey market. Up until sometime tonight, and then it launches properly.

In my opinion I'd stay well clear of Facebook on it's first day. But it will still be a bit interesting !
