The purpose of this blog is to track 20 common stocks for a full year. The idea is to beat the S & P 500 like a mutual fund without the very high churn rate. These stocks will be held in a portfolio until next December 31.

What you need to know....

about Facebook IPO....
This is a real article about what you need to know about the Facebook IPO....
1) What Exactly Is An IPO?
2) Why Do Companies "Go Public" --Issue IPOs?
3) How Do You Buy Into An IPO?
4) Are IPOs Off-Limits To Small Investors?
5) Are "Hot" IPOs An Easy Way To Make Money?


Fortunately, Brandon in the "comment" section saves the day...
"If you are just learning what an IPO is from this article, you should definitely NOT buy FB or any other stock and should instead at least spend a few months studying the industry before you buy. Its not a game."


Thanks Brandon, but I think you are wrong.  Facebook IPO is the perfect investment vehicle for anybody who is now just learning about IPO.
