A. Nothing new. They haven't announced it yet.
What other stocks will benefit from Facebook IPO?
Q. I saw today that Zynga stock jumped on the filing of the Facebook IPO. What other stocks will react when the FB stock starts trading in three months? I am anticipating that none of us will have a chance at purchasing any FB stock at that time so I'm trying to find other stocks that will benefit from the "halo" effect similar to what just happened to Zynga. Any suggestions out there from private investors? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks
A. This is a though provoking question.
ZNGA jumped because ZNGA has a direct business relation with Facebook, GOOG has no reason to jump unless the whole web sector is lifted. In that case, LNKD, GRPN, and the likes might jump.
By the way, I took a wild guess at Facebook's stock symbol 7 months ago, and I was correct in my conclusion, it was FB. See here: http://fadi.el-eter.com/what-will-be-facebooks-stock-ticker-symbol.html

Will you be one of firsts to buy Facebook IPO shares?
Q. Facebook is scheduled to come out with an IPO 2nd quarter 2012 that would raise $10 billion and value the company at $100 billion. Are you going to be buying facebook IPO shares even though you'll never get the deal of the institutional buyers and banks?
A. No.
IPO's are not usually good bets unless you are an insider. Even "sure things" like Facebook are better investments if you wait and see. I waited to buy GOOG, one of the very few "real IPO" stocks I have ever purchased. Do I regret paying double ($200 rather than $100)? Not at all. The wait proved it was probably a good bet. I even bought more, later, at the ridiculously high prices of $300 and $400 during the crash of 2008.
Time is usually your friend in investing, not your enemy.
Time and patience.
