You can watch live from the NASDAQ site as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg makes history this morning ringing the bell to open the day’s trading on the NASDAQ from Facebook’s headquarters just before his company’s IPO. The ceremony has just transpired, with Zuckerberg not giving any speech or remarks. He signed the NASDAQ bell’s touchscreen “To a more open and connected world”. Facebook stock won’t actually begin trading until 8am PST / 11am EST so investors will have a few more hours to salivate.
