Not sure it's worth it to buy at $50 now.
Its been an education for me watching the amount of people and money required to IPO - the amount of roadshows, interviews, rules of engagement... amazing. I think the guys at the top did a great job.
I hope the shares go high and reward the folks on here who were a big part of the success - it still amazes me how at our internal world-wide meetings every year the company pays tribute to the community, probably unlike many other software orgs other than open source.
Next topic should be... who can predict the price at the end of the year!!

We have someone in Rome that might have some of those 29$ stocks then ........
I'll ask if I can buy some for 30 ........ 
Massimo.
You only bought one share?
Just kidding... I hope you didn't mortgage the house, wife and kids otherwise we will all have to carry that burden too
This IPO is similar to all the others I've seen... where the big institutions get a pre-IPO bite (because of their liquidity) and employees get a pre-IPO bite (because of their hard work and loyalty).
What used to annoy me, especially in the 1980s when a lot of UK national institutions were sold off, was that the banks got first ask at all of the stock and the public were left with measly pickings in a restricted market!
This is much fairer, being the USA I wanted to post the link to the video of the bell ringing and all that, but realised that is probably under the control of our marketing army so quickly realised my potential[/i] mistake and possible[/i] punishment! Tis a good vid, though! Hope it can be posted asap!
BTW... what is the name of the Italian stock market?
