People remember and talk about the great stock purchase they made, while the painful memories of terrible investments are repressed and seldom mentioned. They is no guarantee that Facebook stock will significantly appreciate... indeed many believe that it is overvalued and will keep go down, which is why they are selling the stock these days and the price is going down. If you want to gamble with your money, go ahead and purchase a speculative stock like FB, you are taking a big risk for a potential big reward. I personally think it would be wiser (but surely less exciting) to purchase low cost index funds with your money.
