And besides, buying Facebook stock right now is just plain stupid. It's a low-float IPO designed to make people who already own the stock rich. By floating a low number of shares, people who own the shares create artificial demand The stock is being sold at nearly 25 times sales...Amazon is selling for about 2 times sales. Seriously? This is just a get-rich scheme for current Facebook shareholders. Not saying anything is wrong with it. But you should definitely wait to invest until after the pop and the prices slide back to something reasonable. Also, the OP has no business investing in stock right now. Unless you have 10k to throw around as disposable income, investing should be off the table. 3k is almost starving and homeless territory. Pay off your debt and get a part-time job.
