Its still a bubble imo. Further to fall. expect it to stabilise at 30-35 price over earnings, or about $16 dollars*

This thread would have been more interesting if the poll was public, so we could see who voted what.

How fast it will happen depends probably on acting all these employees which still held an ocean full of FB-shares

I´d be curious if FB employees hold restricted stock, and when they can actually sell.

Facebook's earliest employees will get the biggest equity payoff. A typical package for a software engineer joining the company in late 2009 included around 10,000 RSUs, according to a discussion thread on Silicon Valley chatter nexus Quora. Thanks to a 5-for-1 stock split in late 2010, that engineer would now be holding a marker for 50,000 shares, worth $1.8 million at the high end of Facebook's range

But that is going to be very hard to do. Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., is not a kibbutz. The employees that joined the company are like all the other creatures in Silicon Valley; they want to get rich. It's hard to imagine morale at Facebook won't take a hit that correlates with the loss in value of the shares belonging to the employees. And things don't look promising for the stock short-term given that the employees, ex-employees, hedge fund managers, venture capitalists and Russian oligarchs that held pre-IPO Facebook stock will be freed from their post-IPO stock lock-ups starting in August. Make no mistake: the early institutional investors are heading for the exits.
