Decent vol on the jun 12 28/29/30 puts and the jul 30 puts.....I'm going to wait a week o two and see how IV behaves prior to putting on any option trades.

Just as I figured, you have no actual proof. Your assumption because , you dont know anyone who was able to buy shares means nothing. This is not to say that people who currently trade or have big accounts werent offered a piece, but again you have NO proof what so ever to make such claims....come back when you have proof.
"Real world" ?? seriously?? lmao you are two laughs there sluethy.
you wouldn't know the real world if it jumped up and bit you in the ass. And if you did sir, your post here in off topic in no way reflect that!

Yeah but didn't we see that act in 1999-2000? Other than Amazon and a couple others, those eyeballs never translated to revenues.

yep, worked at the big O in the Valley then, got to see it all first hand.
I only day/swing trade, just as likely to go long as short, doubt I'll ever trade FB, but it is an interesting story to follow nonetheless.

1.8 billion eyeballs  Seems like the easy way to make money would be to start charging a small user fee. They said it would never happen but even at $1 per month that is some substantial income even if some people quit using.

I read somewhere that the State of California fund managers poured a bunch of money into the stock at the IPO. They even issued a report to their pensioners that they anticipated a 1.9 billion profit on the stock the first year. Yeah, right.
