I am not as bullish as most, honestly.
Not until the price is declared, anyway.
More importantly, I wouldn't confuse scale with stability. Look at what LNKD has done in the last six months.
Volatile, with plenty of downside if you bought in early July.
To me, that says very few are buying long-term.

Tech stocks usually ipo the same. Goes public, rises 30% in 3 weeks, then slowly bleeds below the ipo price. I haven't look recently, but how is lnkd zillow and pandora doing? Facebook may be different though.

Facebook has a lot of people behind it, and the company is going nowhere soon. All of the strong, non-dividend paying tech stocks (Google, Apple) are going to experience volatility, but keep edging forward.

LinkedIn is above their IPO price of $45. LinkedIn has a good business model though, as there are multiple revenue streams (hiring tools for companies, premium subscriptions, and advertising). Not sure about Pandora or Zillow, but Groupon is down 20% below its IPO price. But come on, Groupon is basically a pyramid scheme waiting to collapse.

Looks like it's official: Facebook files for $5 billion IPO
Not that big of an offering, actually. I wonder how many shares they will offer and at what pice.

by the way...if you invested $1000 to facebook in 2005, you would have a stake worth $2.6 Million once it goes public.
