I think i'm in big trouble confused.gif i bought them when they were @ $40.8 gawd....

 

What kind of advanced order are you trying to use? You can place a limit order to sell at a certain price. For example, if you want to $33.40, which is nearly the high for today, you could put a limit order to sell at $33.40 and if it reaches it, your order will attempt to execute. However, if the price never reaches $33.40, or reaches it but falls before your order executes, you will still be holding the shares. Your other option is the wait and see if the stock recovers. I won't pretend to guess what FB is going to do over the next few days/weeks.

 

I definitely do not recommend you buy anything else until you have a trading plan and a better grasp of what you are doing. Don't chase your losses. I have done that in the past and turned a $2000 loss into a $10,000 loss. If you want to hold it, try not to watch it every day.

I dont understand this. You guys are pros at this why would you invest in a freaking website? Its a website built on hype. This should be a penny stock based on its fundamental values. No better than GOIG

Well, to be fair, Amazon is a website. Google is a website. Facebook has been the fastest company to reach this amount of people in history. It has quickly become a multi-generational staple. It has been attributed to the topple of governments. Yes, the valuation is extremely high - which is why I haven't bought, but don't underestimate this company. In its short lifespan it has become one of the most influential companies in the world. What took IBM, Microsoft, and Apple decades, Facebook did in just a few years. Investors at this price look at that and think what could they do in decades?

Does FB warrant a $30 share price?  Are they presently that profitable?  Been watching this one, but I personally think it is overvalued atm.

post #252 of 798

im jus taking weekly...

 

overvalued...yes...

 

but many overvalues companies that are lifted on future growth..

post #253 of 798

i just think facebooks p/e at 122 X's is CRAZY.... when apple's trading at 12X's and google's on the higher side at 18 X's.

i guess the question is can there futures really be 100 times better earning than they have now???? or am i missing something????

hi webChris,

 

Thanks for your explainations and advices.

 

I'm kind of terrified and I want to get out of it. It doesn't look good though.

 

I tried to set up an advance limit order to sell @ certain price. However, it gives me two boxes and I am kind of confused. Should I put in the same price for both "limit price and amount$"? Also, the duration in the first box has "day and good until cancelled", but there's also an expiration dates on the second box?! Can someone please help me? I have attached a picture of the screen. Thanks.
