Facebook’s IPO - it’s up to you

Facebook Inc., the world’s largest social-networking service, chose Morgan Stanley to take the lead on its planned initial public offering, four people with knowledge of the matter said.
Facebook will file plans with regulators today to raise $5 billion, though the amount may increase, two people said. Morgan Stanley stands to earn a larger share of the fees collected by securities firms for arranging the IPO. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Barclays Plc (BARC) and Bank of America Corp. will help with the sale, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
Getting picked for the IPO is a coup for Morgan Stanley and Michael Grimes, the global co-head of the bank’s technology investment banking unit. The securities firm won the biggest share of business underwriting U.S. initial offers by Internet companies last year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Taking the lead on Facebook may catapult the New York-based bank to the top of the U.S. IPO league table for a third year running.
“This means a huge windfall for them,” said Jack Ablin, who helps oversee $55 billion as chief investment officer for Chicago-based Harris Private Bank. “The fact that they have led so many high-profile social media deals in the last year is proof positive that Morgan Stanley (MS) is most likely to be able to get this deal done.”

It's not like we're all going to open up our Facebook account and it'll be a little treasure box with a share of Facebook," said Kathleen Smith, a principal at Renaissance Capital.

Small investors may have chance to get shares of Facebook IPO

Suckerberg exploits you coming and going, directly and indirectly. If he knew how to actually run a company, or even code, he would be ruling this planet instead of having to bail to an IPO. The question is ... is this little megalomaniac willing to give up control? Because, I am sure shareholders will want an actual return on their investment and will not take a cut in their dividends just to pay for his fleet of private jets, opulent vacations and trips, over-priced escorts (whores), villas and mansions, and over-sized limos. He'll have to start paying for all of that stuff on his own credit card.

Facebook IPO - очередной пузырь? Пожалуй. Только, когда он лопнет, ощущение будет какое, будто книгой засадили по морде.

If ever there was a shining example of the Private Sector out performing the Public... Here ya go. Facebook releases it's IPO today broadcasting it's new $5B worth. FB did this w/o "taxing" a single user for the platform (excepting advertising). Also today. Pres. Obama announces his mortgage refi plan, which will COST U.S. taxpayers $10B. (Financials are doing great on the index today, btw) Don't forget that Clinton, Bush 1 and 2 got us into this mess by greasing their friends over at Fannie and Freddie with Taxpayer dollars. I guess the only time the public sector out performs is when it comes to correction and wasteful spending.

It will be very difficult to figure out how much Facebook is worth.
