Facebook will be allowing a first series of lockout regulations for thier employees to sell thier options. This meaning that there are a possible 250 million additional shares that can be dumped on the open market. I am no expert and have only been investing for under 6 months but i think that FB will be a short for sure. Looking at the comps like linkedin and groupon when they went through this thier stocls went down considerable as well. Anyone have any thoughts??
It seems like a trap short. The lockup expiration may already be priced in. No offense to you, but when a newbie is interested in shorting a stock that has dropped 50% I get skeptical. I may be dead wrong, but I figured I'd play devil's advocate.
At the moment, I'm reasonably certain of two things: 1) FB will be < $10 before the end of the year. 2) It'll hit $30 first.
