Quote from FrankSlaughtery:
i think you mean support not resistance - correct me if i'm wrong
there is twin support of the 20 and 50 dma right there at ~20.5 so i wouldn't be shorting now - either wait for a move back up to the mid twenties or short below 20
re buying the FB NOV 16 PUT - you know (not directed to sudo) there are only 12 days til expiry - why not try for the JAN or MAR 2013

Yes totally meant support, still new to trading![]()
Every time it has dropped below 21$ someone has bought it back up since the lockup that expired on Oct 29. Perhaps Zuck is propping it up for his employees to cash out?
Also the amount of shares that became available was gobbled up within the first few hours due to sheer volume of shares that were traded so it really made little impact. 777M is significantly more then the Oct 29th though.

Quote from peilthetraveler:
Because it costs 7 times as much. This is a gamble, nonetheless, but one that could payout bigtime. We've never seen a stock where the lock ups expire and are 50% of the outstanding shares on a single day. Basically more than twice the shares sold during the IPO are coming out of lockup on the 14th, only on the 14th, there will be no hyped up newbie buyers keeping the stock pushed.
Quote from atticus:
That you don't understand that this is "in the market" leads me to assume you're pretty new at this. It may touch $19 next week, but I doubt it highly.
Want to bet on a touch of $18 by the 4pm Eastern on the 18th?
