Facebook is a fad. As soon as the new wears off it will become worthless as many other fads have become. If you buy in, be prepared to lose your money.

It's been up and running for 8 years... any "new" it had wore off long ago.

If people choose to buy, be sure to sell immediately. Otherwise, it is unlikely to work in your favor.

When did you say to sell?
"Shares of Facebook fell as low as $33 today, more than 13% below where the shares were when they went public last Friday."

Stocks = High stake rich person gambling.. I'd rather go play poker at the boats. Also I'd like to know where the other two percent went?

No, I don't think that stocks fit that definition at all, at least not for a wise investor. Read my posting here for investment advice:

Passing on FB. Bought 5 shares (all I could afford) of Google at just over $400. So far, so good. http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=GOOG

FB closed today at just above its IPO price. We have seen Facebook and it is no Google! http://money.msn.com/technology-investment/article.aspx?post=f931548b-9920-46d4-ae36-3d1256759102

Its not Google. These guys priced this stock out of the park in my opinion. A P/E of 120+ is a tough sell when GOOG, MSFT, APPLE are all between 10-20. I sold half my position of FB at $43.72. In hind sight, I should have dumped it all.

The only reason FB closed above its IPO price was because it was artificially propped up by underwriter Morgan Stanley, according to the 'Wall Street Journal'. Otherwise, it would have dropped on its very first day.
For details, look at the link on my posting below.
