This always happens. See how many times ZNGA and GRPN were propped up before finally falling.

They're always gonna give the stock a chance before breaking it down.

Bullish engulfing formed today? 

FB down 2.7% early on news that their director Peter Thiel dumped over $1 bil worth of stock 

What a piece of trash!

If you read, that sale was planned prior to the IPO.

Ya but come on, do you really think he would have sold all those shares if FB was was bullish right now? I know it was "planned", but plans can change. The fact that one of the earliest investors and directors of FB didn't want to change his plan and was content with selling off $1bil in stock says something big about the company IMO, and the market seems to agree because FB is down significantly today.

You can't read too much into these insider sales. Sometimes, they can be a good indicator, but more often than not it is just noise. If you look at the insanely low price these guys got into FB, and the ones who were just given tons of shares for helping start the company, it makes sense to sell at these levels for hundreds of times their investment.

Buy the crap out of FB here, and cover short positions. The risk reward for a long position is one of the best I've seen. 40-50% upside with a 5% or less stop.

Another big reason they need to pump up the price is for acquisitions. This drop has already jeopardized the Instagram deal, and now they'll be paying twice the shares for future deals.

Above average volume already

Insiders dumping like there is free money on the tree, dumping as fast as they can

you ain't seen nothing yet... wait til the Nov/Dec pigroast when insiders and employees dump the next round of shares and the tax loss sellers put the exclamation mark on this POS...

still overpriced as a value buy. I like facebook, and use it, but it doesn't really make that much money for the company it is. Maybe if Steve jobs were alive and took over, and made some huge chang on how to monetize FB properly. well, maybe FB will be a great company one day, but they need a visionary leader that is ahead of the curve.

What FB needs is a better business model ..

finally got into sept 19's at $1 each.  it then proceeded to almost go green then back down 4%.  fun rollercoaster ride.  lets see another 4% tomorrow plz, down.
