Says the Twitter DM sent to me by a close friend from the US. Just last week, we were hurriedly planning on how to get into the Facebook IPO and buy us a few shares as some sort of long-term investment.
The opening price then was $38. The closing price yesterday was just a little over $28.
There goes your $10 a share if you actually bought into Facebook.
I’m not really into the stock market but I had the feeling FB could be the next GOOG. I remember back in 2004, I also talked with some friends into buying GOOG share when it became public.
In retrospect, my excitement is more about buying a “souvenir” rather than investing. So I look at it as a move for the long haul. Besides, I believe in this little advise that “one should only invest in money one is willing to lose”.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone out there actually did buy into Facebook out there.

Kung gusto niyo mag invest sa stocks and you’re still asking where you can buy stocks, I recommend that you study the basics first, hindi lang yung percentage nang loss and gain and pinag aaralan, marami pa.
Like, market capitalization, price to earning (P/E), price to sales (P/S) to name a few. Hindi madaling kumita sa stock market pag tayong walang alam, maaring pag upo mo maganda ang stock value tumayo ka at uminom nang tubig bag balik mo sa computer mo lugi ka na.
Also, like what I advise to others, only invest what you can afford to lose.

How does an ordinary everyday Juan/Pedro participate in the stock market here in Pinas anyway? I have no idea. Walk-in lang ba sa Makati/Ortigas? :P

Masyadong mahal ang opening, obvious na bababa agad after a week. Dim pa ang outlook pero sa tingin ko naman may future plans na ang facebook.

Most people are overreacting about this, but in terms of a prototypical IPO success, Facebook’s was textbook. The goal of an IPO is to generate as much capital as possible for the company by selling shares at the highest price the market deems acceptable. This is the time when we should start assessing how well Facebook stock performs now that demand is stabilizing.

Yes, I did! Bought 100,000 shares!

Too early too tell. It is usual that after IPO a stock will fall. Trading is different from investing.

Calvin says:
now is the time to buy then but i doubt if anybody would be cutting their losses this early. sa simula lang yan. facebook won’t be going anywhere for a long time.
John says:
tama, sa simula lang yan at karamihan din ng nasa market ngayon ay di kagandahan ang kulay. pero sa tingin ko, bababa pa ang value ng facebook. next thing you know, aangat na ang value nyan.
taong 1984, ang value ng Apple ay $26.50 lamang. ngayong araw, ito ay $579.17. sa loob ng 27 years, ang value nito ay naging 21.855 times. by the time mag-retire, pwedeng may extrang pera na :)
kaya abe (yuga), pahiram ng pera padi :)
