Great idea!!!

Don’t miss this interview! Great info and thoughts from a retired market maker…. http://www.optionmillionaires.com/2012/facebook-ipo-thoughts-from-a-retired-market-maker/
I’ve been trading options but not much experience on IPOs … so I ask … are we gonna be able to trade options on Facebook IPO ? … weekleys too?
Usually takes a few days. Option traders will have to be patient. With the volume, would assume there will be weeklies as well.
As you all already know, I’m a fan of RENN. Here are a few reasons why:
Earnings tba at 9 pm Monday
RENN is unique in that they insisted on real-name registration and as such should gain users from other Chinese sns companies.
RENN is similar to FB except the user is able to see who is reading their information.

Have a great weekend all,
