The most valuable American company to ever go public is creating a frenzy on Wall Street. According to CNBC, 82 million shares were traded in the first 30 seconds after a hoodie-wearing Mark Zuckerberg rang the opening bell on Wall Street. Trading started a half hour late. And is now at around $40 a share.
