Facebook Stock Tumbles on 2nd Day of Trading

Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 22 May 2012 7:36 AM


Facebook didn’t make any friends on the stock market yesterday.  After gaining a measly 23 cents on Friday, shares fell 11 percent on Monday. The tumbled took about $11.5 billion off Facebook’s estimated value. The Wall Street Journal has an excellent blow by blow on what exactly happened but I’ll give you a summary:  Basically, they sold too much stock.
