    looks like Morgan Stanely will be taking care of the underwriting, good luck trying to get any IPO shares... looks like when the shares hit the open market it might be a good time to buy some call options woot!

    Another massively overvalued tech ipo. Could be worse, I mean GRPN is still just 20% under its IPO price.

    More of a future value thing.. The 'experts' are anticipating some pretty significant growth in a few of their revenue streams.

    I'm interested to see how the money raised is going to be used to fend off the competition

    Their IPO is only $5 Billion on $1 Billion in earnings. This'll be an easy way to make money.

    You know they aren't valuing the company at $5 billion, right? They are only listing like 5-10% of all the shares. FB is valued around $100 billion.

    Is it even going to be possible for the average Canadian to get IPO shares?

    I think it will more depend how much money you have and the type of connections you have due to your money. The average investor wont get in on this IPO imo

    … which produces nothing and it’s entire revenue stream is from advertising. The second Facebook stops being a fad and the “in thing”, company goes from making billions to making zero. Nothing lasts forever, TGLO v2.0
