Is it illegal to sell Facebook "Like" Stickers?

Q. I see plenty of businesses and market sellers selling Facebook "Like" Decals. Do they have to get permission from Facebook to sell that?

A. I don't think there is something wrong in it and required permission for it. Even Facebook set promotion for page also. If you doing more spam activity then sure facebook will ban your account and pages.

how can I buy some facebook stock before it goes public?
Q. I know that there are some banks and investment firms out there that are selling facebook stock before the ipo in the spring. I can't get any direct answers on how a simple person can go about making a purchase on some pre-ipo stock. Any ideas?

A. You CAN NOT as a member of the general public buy a stock that is not yet available to the general public. You must wait for the Initial Public Offering (IPO)
There is no such thing as pre-IPO stock, regardless of what you think

The banks and investments that you think are selling a stock before the IPO may be selling private shares but they are NOT selling stock that will be made public.. They are taking indications but they are not and can not by law trade these shares.

When an IPO is issued, the underwriter will allocate stock to the selling syndicate to further sell to the general public. The selling syndicate are those broker/dealers that agree to hold[ the underwriter sell the new issue. They are also prepared to take down (participate) in a new issue regardless is it is a "hot" issue or a bad deal.

Those customers of syndicate members who have either substantial size accounts or do heavy trading volume or those customers who have shown that they will hold new issues until the syndicate is closed will be the ones who will be offered the new issue
So unless you meet any of these criteria, you chances of participating in the new issue are slim to none.


Follow up to JOEYVâs comments. Iâve been in the industry for over 40+ years. I have been involved with underwritings in both equities and fixed incomes for many years. The stock issued to employees is NOT considered âpre IPOâ, it is usually lettered stock issued not only to employees but to professional service groups that provide support to the company. The market for such stock is very limited and it does NOT address the question asked here.

I am not a silly investor, I do not have a broker, but I do know the rules & regulations since I spent time writing some of the major rules that still part of the ACT of 34. Iâve been a member of selling groups and have participated in large syndications as defined by the ACT of 33, Iâve been member of exchanges, managed member firms including floor trading operations on several floors both in the US and in Europe.
Donât jump on someone you know nothing about, especially with your limited experience, I have hired and fired people like you. Needless to say, I was not impressed with you silly rant that proves nothing except that you can not accept people that may have more experience and a better understanding of the industry than you,

Where can I buy facebook poker chips for Zynga's Texas Holdem Game other than through Zynga?
Q. Zynga's prices for facebook poker chips are kind of high. I know others sell facebook chips too if anyone can reccomend one I'd appreciate it. I'm looking to buy 10 million chips.

A. There's quite a few sites other than Zynga that sell facebook poker chips for that game. I bought 10 million chips from http://www.facebookpokerstore.com for $50 They're prices are like 80% less than what Zynga charges for facebook poker chips and they're pretty quick to respond.

I used to play on Pokerstars (play money) before going to Facebook poker this year, it has a friendlier atmosphere.

I hope this helps. Good luck rojelio.
