It was only a matter of time, folks! Starting May 18, you can get your hands on some Facebook stock when the company finally goes public to become the largest IPO in internet history.

To ~~celebrate~~ raise more money from investors and prepare for the stock market launch, the social network is going on a nine day IPO roadshow beginning May 7. The tour will stop in New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore and potentially Los Angeles to pitch to investors in hopes of raising up to $10 billion!

While CEO Mark Zuckerberg will make a few appearances along the way, COO Sheryl Sandberg and CFO David Ebersman will be the main stars of the show.

Are U going to buy yourself a piece of the internet's most popular website?

The rich will get richer - this will be a trade available to institution, not retail (meaning you and me) and other individuals. What a joke article and I doubt many people can afford this stock.

Oooops!

Andrew Garfield Irks Girlfriend Emma Stone With His Sexist Comment! See The Actress Call Her Beau Out HERE!

Well, Andrew started out with a silly answer to who makes Spider-Man’s costume, but it turned into a comment on what things are seen as feminine.

That’s when Emma called him out, without so much as a smile on her face! The tension was felt immediately, but we’re not so sure Mr. Garfield was able to squirm out of this one.

Ch-ch-check it out
