when did facebook go on the stock market
Initial public offering of Facebook Trading was to begin at 11:00am Eastern Time on Friday, May 18, 2012. However, trading was delayed until 11:30am Eastern Time due to technical problems with the NASDAQ exchange.[33][34] Those early jitters would foretell ongoing problems; the first day of trading was marred by numerous technical glitches that prevented orders from going through,[35] or even confused investors as to whether or not their orders were successful.[33]
