Facebook IPO
- Thread starter rafterman
- Start date
I just got a glimpse of an equity portfolio manager's rating 1-SO. Sector Outperform, with a 1 year price target of $105.
It's scheduled to IPO at $35-45 on May 17th. I hope you all have some free cash in your portfolios. I'd say buy and hold if you can get it for under $50 on IPO day you're getting a steal.

If your a Congressman or a Senator and have the inside track I load up. But if not I wouldn't touch it. When you think about it, what value does Facebook bring to the table ? All it is is a way to waste time.
Kind of like terb somedays.

I'd say buy it and trade it. With the way the things are today, especially with heavy regulation on the way don't think after the mandatory quiet period every underwriting bank will come out and slap a strong buy with a much higher price target. I'm not saying to keep this as a core holding, i just think it's a great trading opportunity.
Have a great weekend.

it could double the first day like linkedin
It could, it will be volatile, especially before the over allotment. There will be alot of retail action, thus this will be traded. I'm not saying to hold it but trade it. We are looking at a pretty ugly market anyway.
Where is Linedin to-day? I think Groupup is around $10 now. IPO's are meant to make money for the insiders and Goldman Sachs, not you.it could double the first day like linkedin

Actually with all due respect Linked in is at 107, i think initially FB will most likely trade closer to LNKD rather than Groupon. I think it's an unfair comparison. I'm also referring to FB rather than the concept of IPOs, most of them don't make it.
Thanks

no shit, all im saying is if you trade it id be out the first day. facebook is a guaranteed losing longterm investment in my view. all these companies have pie in the sky valuations, gold stocks should have these p/e's
I find it kind of sad that all the IPO's of late have been for companies that have very little tangible value. In my mind Facebook is a way to waste time. And Linkedin is just a networking tool. It not like they actually make anything.

linked in has a p/e of 700 lol, how long do you think itll trade this hihg for? the stock shouldnt be trading for more than $10 and even that is a very very generous valuation. gonna be the dotcom bubble all over again
A couple of business articles I've read suggest Facebook wouldn't be a good long-term investment, noting it's overhyped because a billion people (or whatever the number is) subscribe to it. Also pointed out in the press is that many companies are re-examining the cost/value of advertising on web ads on sites such as Facebook; they find traditional advertising (print, radio, TV) still are more effective. Therefore, companies will be looking for better ad deals from Facebook. To combat this, Facebook would have to vastly increase its number of advertisers, possibly to the extent of pissing off users. Advertising is how they make their money. The so-called experts in the business press suggest if you buy, get ready to sell when it peaks, because it might fluctuate like a roller coaster, dropping down to below the initial share price.

Ha ha ha I see that the the IPO has been supersized by another 25% due to heavy investor demand. Look for a 100% price pop at the start of trading.

Facebook is worth more than Citigroup and McDonalds? Maybe they will take over Mcdonalds and run a real business that has real tangible assets.
all the major investment banks currently own shares of facebook, who do you think are the "experts" on tv promoting stocks? they are money managers from the big wall street banks. all these crooks are going to be selling while the stupid small retail investor is buying its a pump n dump
