Facebook is set to go public Thursday in what's expected to be a monster initial public offering. The cash haul for Wall Street will likely be huge -- a whopping 33 underwriters are supporting the IPO -- and investors are taking a hard look at the company and its potential on the markets.

Facebook is trying to open up the IPO to smaller investors, but in all likelihood most of us won't get a chance to buy until the first day of trading, which will probably be Friday.
