How can you buy facebook stock?

[Dust]

I heard facebook was going to be put on open stock market, and can buy options now in big lots. Who has these stocks and how can you buy them now?

There are some hedge funds out there who have specialized in buying stock from formr employees and early investors in Facebook. These are all private deals and it's doubtful that someone without some pretty deep pockets could attract much interest from former employees. If you want to invest in these funds that own Facebook shares, you would need to be an accredited investor and be able to invest the minimum (which can't be lower than $250K).
