Facebook IPO

[Denny]

Alan owns more facebooks than me!

Nice, where do you trade? Different firms have different requirements.

edit: my guess would be Scottrade?

Lmao

[Taylor]

The account that got the shares I have doesn't meet any of these requirements.

Wtf makes the company worth anything? They sell advertising and are talking about charging per post to guarantee that your friends see it and so forth. I see this thing hitting the MySpace wall with a short period. I just don't understand the valuation of it.

Hey dick cheese, I work at a brokerage that participated in the fb ipo, along with many others. The requirements to participate in the ipo is
1) MINIMUM account equity in the RECEIVING account of $250k OR
3) 30 trades or more in the trailing 90 days.

Meet one of those requirements and have non marginal available funds available to cover the purchase and you are good to go, along with a 5130 and an IOI on file.

Really not that hard to wrap your 'holier than thou' head around, is it?

Ok genius, you want to go back and actually read what he wrote in post 38, or do you want to simply continue with baseless bullshit?

[Nash B.]

Jody, you so dumb. You so dumb, Jody.

Lmfao, I know exactly where you are getting that number and you are wrong on multiple levels. But hey, what the hell do I know.

Oh God, I walked into the office this morning and found out I own a hundred shares at $38. It is an office pool type of deal. We put in a stop loss at $37 so if it runs right out of the gate I am good but if it dips I'm going to be out $100. Being the most hyped IPO ever, I might make some beer money.

The retard is you you fucking idiot. So fuck off

Just quoting for posterity.

It's not there in that story, but if you google the requirements it's there. I did that from my damn iPhone so it's kinda hard to post it.

Not sure if I'm retarded, but I don't see 250K as a requirement. Either way, seems like they are not just dumping them out there. These stocks are too risky for my blood to be honest. I rather just hold stocks for a few quarters/whatever and go from there.
