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

Yahoo has an active lawsuit against Facebook. Don't let anyone you know buy stocks. Invest in local businesses or start your own.
