Yee of little faith.
I picked Facebook, and it looks like it will keep losing ground this week.
This will be the third straight week of losing value.

Well, Mod & Blue...I got ya both beat today! But the week isn't over yet. VB, there was an article the other day that the "kids" are moving away from facebook...is that the reason it's moving down? I do not think so. I think it might be the specialists are not expecting blow out earnings this week. Then again, either today or yesterday someone cut their rating because, the specialist stated advertisers cannot and will not make money on advertising on Facebook. Some are saying sell FB now and save your ammo for twitter when it comes available. The other thought out there right now is there is almost weekly rotation of stocks falling out of favor for a week or two, rolling over and becoming stock favorites again. Tech, banking and healthcare are doing this the last 45 days or so. Look at IBM. Down a lot, then right back up. Apple cannot figure which way to go. JPM looks like it is on a trampoline recently. |
