The stock isn't available, since it does not yet exist to the public.

Not sure why anyone would invest in Facebook if they were selling stock.

How would it work? The more friends you have, the more money you would invest? You would sell your stock when you lose friends from your list?

Haha, no the more advertising Facebook sells, the higher your stock gets! Facebook has a genius marketing system because it uses your profiles info to provide the best ads specifically to you. Say for example, your a nurse, you'll get ads to continue your nursing education. Google is scared of Facebook because of this. After all, Google is the internet advertising king (maybe not for long?).

Is "Facebook" going to be a fad that is replaced with something else...? Frankly, when it comes to tech oriented stocks... think about the real longevity of the company and can you make a buck fast or do you hold and hope the market doesn't chase another tech opportunity?

It's funny that you say this because most analysts believe not, it is not a fad. Personally, I believe they're all somehow influenced to create this "vision" of Facebook in our future. For example, the press is always publishing stories about how Facebook is killing e-mail. This is a load of crap; Facebook is trying to create this, in my opinion. E-mail is used in professional, personal, and advertising techniques — Facebook lacks the biggest one "professional." For that sake, Facebook is blocked on my work computers!

Also, most of my e-mail I receive is automated... how would Facebook incorporate this. I also use Apple's Mail for all my e-mail needs at home, I hate using web browsers.

I could go on and on...

By the way, they say this is being lead by young individuals. Hence I'm 20 years old.

Do we call this a myth or what?
