Can someone explain to me the Facebook IPO?
I know little about everyday business, and even less about the stock market itself.

As I understand it now, Facebook is owned by only a few people, and the IPO opens up the chance for people to buy into the company. Can someone explain to me what it means that it costs 30-something for a stock? Why would Facebook do an IPO?

I am also confused as to why Huffington Post is now declaring that the Facebook IPO is a failure and the stocks are going down. Why isn't everyone buying into this succesful company?

Any information would be greatly appreciated, as I am very curious on this subject.
