No doubt Facebook has changed lives—more than 900 million, in fact. But with its initial public offering of stock on Friday, the social network founded by Mark Zuckerberg in his Harvard dorm room has raised stratospheric expectations. The 8-year-old company’s valuation would top $100 billion, according to Wall Street. Is this an omen of wild profits to come or the latest Sign of the Apocalypse? Remember the dot-com bust?
Poll: Is Facebook Worth $100 Billion? Will IPO Be a Steal or Start of a Slide?
Some on Wall Street think Facebook’s initial public offering of stock is latest dot-com hysteria.

Can't send messages to Dad because he's now deceased, but my dad was very wise...He'd say things…Read More like: "You can get arrested for what you say, but not what you think!" - or - "Take care of your feet, and they'll take care of you!" My dad wasn't much for words, but he was always a stable figure growing up and was loyal to mom throughout the years. Nowadays, that in and of itself is honorable! Thank you Dad! In Loving Memory...

Guess you missed it, but I doubt WE will ever have an intelligent conversation on the subject since you think solar and peaker plants go hand in hand.

Saverin, 30, a Brazil-born resident of Singapore who helped launch Facebook with his Harvard schoolmate Mark Zuckerberg, reportedly renounced his U.S. citizenship in September before the company announced its planned initial public offering of stock. Owning an estimated 4 percent of Facebook, he stands to make $4 billion when it goes public.... Those in the expatriate community said that although Saverin’s move was likely a financial one — he paid an exit tax on the capital gains from his Facebook stock but the stock is now tax-free — they said expatriates who gave up their citizenship were driven by other factors. Phil Hodgen, an international tax lawyer in Pasadena, Calif., said that since 2009, when more than 150 U.S. customers of Swiss banking giant UBS were investigated for alleged tax evasion, the IRS had been going after Americans abroad with foreign bank accounts with a vengeance. He said that in the last three years, new and old rules had created an enormous amount of resentment — and paperwork expenses — for expatriates. “It just ended up wreaking unfairness and grief on ordinary people,” Hodgen said. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/05/facebooks-eduardo-saverin-joins-americans-renouncing-citizenship/
