Investing in facebook on its first day?

Irving Fisher in his 1930 book "The Theory of Interest" and John Burr Williams's 1938 text "The Theory of Investment Value" established that a value of something is the summation of all the cashflows discounted to a present value by a discount rate. Knowing that, if we take what we know of Facebook's future earnings into account we have a value of $0. So there's your starting point.

The prices are going to be driven by behavioral economics for some time and won't be anywhere close to a reasonable value.
