As a bonus, you can also see Google’s co-founders taking a ride on a space elevator.
Facebook opened up trading at $42 this morning after pricing its stock at $38 last night. The stock didn’t go up much throughout the day, and it slowly fell to just $38.06 by the end of trading today. That didn’t surprise Wall Street analysts, as we’ve reported, but it may have come as a shock to Silicon Valley insiders who expected the stock to blow up today.
