Based on what I've read the general public is shut out on the IPO. Only the usual suspects will get in (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley) and 30ish others.

They're not "shut out" because of size, they're shut out because that's how the process works. Its not any different if GM releases a new car, you can't go to a GM plant and buy it from them at cost, you have to go buy it from a dealer (and pay a "markup" for lack of a better term in this analogy).

Facebook reminds me of AOL. As the social media market matures you will see their users decline much like what happened to AOL.
There will be companies that will segment the social media market. Twitter is a good example of what you can expect to see. Expect Zuckerberg to milk this Cow till it drops.

I think it hits 100. Still not going to try and buy any.

If you think it will hit $100/sh why would you optionally pass up on the opportunity to make an expected return of ~65%?

wouldn't that be almost 200% return?

Yes I missed the 1 that went in front of the 65.

Fbook is averaging over 100k new users a day.

No company will even come close unless it's a Fbook subsidiary.

Twitter is a totally different platform, and they aren't stealing users from fbook. If you use twitter you use fbook.

I don't think there's any chance I get in early enough. I definitely don't see it only going from 35 to 40.
ETA: LNKD was set to open 32-35 and opened in the 80s, right?

Yeah, there's no telling where it will actually start trading at versus where they price it at. I thought you were talking about the former, not the latter.

That's my mistake with imprecise wording. If I thought I could buy at $35 I would, but I do not think it stays under $40 on opening day.

Bump.
It's reported that Facebook raised nearly 16 billion in cash. Can someone explain the logistics of this to me?

The company and its investors sold ~19B worth of stock to the public. ~$3B of that was stock that had already been issued, ~$16B of that was newly issued stock.
