Facebook IPO, Who owns Facebook and more

Wed, 02/01/2012 - 14:55 — Site Admin

So it looks like Facebook is filing papers today for an IPO of $5 billion. That is half of what was rumored and almost certainly keeps the little guy (those with less than 100K to invest) from acquiring any of that IPO stock. I am thinking that the reason that Facebook reduced their IPO is because most IPOs rise so fast and then fall. Even immediately following Google's IPO the performance was far from what was expected, though those that still hold it today have enjoyed a 500% increase in value.
