Who wouldn’t love to own a share of stock in one of the hottest trends today known as Facebook. For that to be a possibility Facebook would need to be open to the public. The topic sparked ears last night in a discussion Zuckerberg had with Rose last night about Facebook eventually becoming open to the public but will first reward investors who paid early stock options in the company. The thought of waiting for the investors to be rewarded may sound like forever to some eager investors.
After the possibility of a new law being passed, it may take even longer. The law would force any company with more than 500 shareholders to report their financial information within 120 days. With the requirement of sharing financial information companies may as well become public. If you are a potential interested investor in Facebook I would suggest keeping up with where this issue will lead. The law may just determine exactly how soon you will be able to pay into the company or not.
