What is the best way to plan for buying Facebook stock when it is available?

[Eddie W]

There is no such thing as best way to plan to buy a stock. However, you have to get yourself prepared meaning make sure you have opened an account with a brokerage and the money is readily available. Any long-waited company shares are usually going crazy in it's first trading day. No one would have anyway of knowing what's going to happen in the stock price subsequent to that. You have plenty of choice whether to jump in on the first trading day or wait until the dust is all settled.

Be prepared for the nature of stock investment - whether you have or have not bought a stock, have or have not sold a stock, at some point, you will regret it.
