The latest rumors in the media indicate that Facebook will likely select Morgan Stanley to serve as the primary underwriter the IPO. The IPO filing could happen as soon as this week.
According to all reports both Facebook and Morgan have been tight-lipped about the IPO and have refused to offer any official comment. Industry analysts and others close to the subject are estimating the IPO in the early spring.
