Facebook (FB) – Let Flighty Capital Fly & You Sit Tight

By now everyone should be aware of the fact that Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) reported excellent earnings results. But the stock has come off its highs reached ahead of the report nonetheless. That is because its performance, however excellent, was not good enough to keep the scarce capital resources of less patient investors in the stock at its valuation. Long-term holders, patient and willing to achieve a better than 20% annual appreciation rate in this stock will be rewarded, but impatient speculative buyers who took positions into its earnings will seek more prospective pastures through earnings season. I suggest investors let the trading capital run away for now; it’ll return again at higher price levels to support even higher levels later on down the road. See my report on Facebook (FB).

Why Facebook's Stock is Breaking Out

After trading range-bound for half a year, Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) shares have found new footing. I see a few good reasons for the start of this latest move. The company is importantly benefiting from fresh news about its operational progress and its valuation, which is serving as a reminder of the special opportunity the shares offer investors. The stock is also positioned to exaggerate the performance of a market now free of previous reasons for concern. And within-sector capital flows from value to growth names could be occurring now as well, which serves Facebook. As a result, Facebook shareholders should let go of any frustrations with the stock’s previous stall and take their fingers off the sell-trigger, because the stock should now begin to fulfill its promise again. I see this breakout driving to $85 without much difficulty, and to $90 as analysts raise their 12-month price targets thereafter. For the year, I see at least 32% upside appreciation potential for Facebook holders, and it appears the stock has started its move toward that goal. See my full report on Facebook (FB) here.

Facebook (NYSE: FB) Should Do This To Unlock Value for Shareholders

I was overjoyed by Facebook’s (NYSE: FB) operational performance this past quarter as were most on the Street. Still, as I watched the stock collapse during its COO’s pre-conference call interview with CNBC (video no longer available at the site), I understood how the industry leader could do better for shareholders. Sheryl Sandberg had a fine interview, but I believe the company inadequately prepared the investment environment ground ahead of the EPS report. That I believe caused it to be poorly received and even today the stock’s compelling story fails to pull in bidders. Facebook has to properly prepare the seeds of price appreciation through clearer and more strategic communications geared toward the investors’ perspective. See my free report on Facebook here.

Facebook – Why I Went Long Again

Two weeks ago, on a day when Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) was dropping by more than $2 to around $74.30 a share, I took a new long position. Warren Buffett is known for advising amateur investors to buy when the blood is on the street, and that’s exactly what I did, but for more reason than the blood alone. There are two other good reasons I see further upside for Facebook in the offing and am still long today, despite the share move to over $78. See the Facebook report here.

Facebook Can Weather Big Storms

Last Thursday’s market decline had me watering at the mouth, mainly because of the decline of a few stocks on my shopping list. Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) is one of those names, and it’s the kind of stock I think you have to buy when the market goes on sale. Facebook can weather big storms. Unlike Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), which I recommended the sale of last week, Facebook (FB) is a momentum name I’m itching to purchase even today. I was lonely when Facebook dipped under $20 a few years ago when I was telling everyone and anyone to buy it. Back then, believe it or not, there were few of you saying the same thing. As it moved toward $30 I continued to reassure friends and followers that it was still a screaming buy. And now that it’s trading in the upper $70s, I’m still looking for entry points for this big future 10-bagger, as Peter Lynch would put it. See the full report on Facebook here.
