Yeah but surely if you lose it then you're screwed? How are you gonna pay it back then?
The same way I would pay it back if I used it for food I suppose haha. That's why I said don't do it unless you are willing to lose it

Because they had millions to begin with, they just made more millions lol.
FB launch was a bit of a flop.

Since you replied, can you please give me a brief explanation on stocks and shares? I seriously don't get anything..
Here's a good starting point as far as explaining financial markets goes

A book I recommend for beginners is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Naked-Trader-Anyone-Trading/dp/0857191705/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337631107&sr=8-1
Very interesting and easy to read. Before you do anything, read that. It should pretty much answer all of your questions. If not come back on here and ask, quite a few friendly people
If you go about 20 pages back on this thread and read, you will see a few answers to things you might ask as well

cool thnx for the help
Considering we're recommending books i'd strongly recommend this one http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Wall-Street-Fifth-Edition/dp/0071633227 . It's the one i read and it's very good.
Facebook perfected that IPO. Couldn't have done it better.
Lol @ facebook share price. I knew it would happen. It's not worth $100bn with ~$3.7bn revenue. I know it was based on "potential" in markets like China, but come on! Don't overvalue something before it's actually materialised. I'm waiting for it to drop below 25 dollars before I buy any, at which point worldwide censorship will fall, and facebook shares will rise to the price of Google's. It's a fool-proof plan, right? 
According to the BBC, shareholders are suing Facebook because they hid growth forecasts before its floatation.

Lol, i guess it was pretty obvious just from using facebook that it was a sort of bubble, its so overvalued..
buy lamprell shares, dead cat bounce, will make 30% £1.30 in the next week ofc with a rumored Takeover

I saw that. Ridiculous. You can't play the stock market then try to sue when things don't go your way. If Facebook and Goldman sachs can back up the floatation figures, they will get their way. This is exactly why I didn't invest immediately.

Couldn't agree more, that is pretty much what i was gonna do, apart from i don't think it will hit 25, i was thinking more like 28/29!
Anyone else here in USOP? Any predictions to where the share price will be heading to?
