Facebook IPO -Traded 82 Million shares in the first 30 seconds

If you are  involved in the tech space then you just have to sit back and admire what Mark Zuckerberg and Co. have done with  Facebook over the last 8 years. They have completely changed the face of human interaction and how people communicate with each other. In  the process creating a completely new industry loaded with new ways of doing things. But today Mark Zuckerberg opened the bell remotely from the company’s Menlo Park Headquarters to mark the first day of  Facebook going public, trading on NASDAQ. Mark even updated his Facebook status at the same time

“Mark Zuckerberg listed a company on NASDAQ. — with Chris Cox and 4 others,”

It came…and yeah the biggest tech IPO took off at a high note trading  82Million shares in the first 30 seconds. Facebook share opened trading at 42.05 from the initial public offering price of $38 . The online social network raised as much as $18.4 billion  making the biggest  initial public offerings in U.S. history.

We say congrats
