Yes I have made my mind up, I wouldn't buy Facebook for $20 a share. Where is My Space now? That is where Facebook will end up.

Myspace and Facebook were very different types of social networking. Myspace was created (if memory serves me correctly) for music bands to show off their talents. Myspace did not give the interaction between people that Facebook offers. You cant really compare the two companies.

I would not buy facebook at the price it was offered at.

I could care less about Facebook's stock.
Buy the shares?

Buying shares means I would have to sell the stock of companies I own that have real assets, pay big dividends and have the ability to exponentially expand their market cap in the future.


I'm good thanks.

That would be a no....they are cashing out for a reason. Social Media suffers from Moore's Law too. FB is old style now they have peaked. The best is to see who will be benefitting from the sale....says everything people need to know.
"Some of earliest backers of Facebook are planning to sell an additional shares of $3bn in today’s initial public offering, as they take advantage of a wave of public interest in the social network group’s flotation.
Such move will increase the number of shares on offer by 25%, with proceeds flowing to existing investors including Goldman Sachs, Tiger Global Management as well as Accel Partners.
Demand of the investor has been stoked by a cross-country US roadshow over the past two weeks, allowing Facebook to increase the size of its offering from $12bn to as much as $18bn. However, Facebook goes on rankling some large institutional investors who are worried that the IPO’s rising price from $34 to $38 and heavy insider selling could make the shares of the company more volatile after their market debut."

Wouldn't buy into FB using someone else's money, much less my own. No thanks. The ensuing stampede should be interesting to watch though...from a safe distance.

The lemmings need to be sheared of their last inch of fur before they realize they should have done something before it was too late.
And that something was to have done nothing at all. Without "strong" demand, the insiders would have to settle between themselves the worthless paper they were going to sell to the lemmings.
