    After rocketing higher yesterday (apparently thanks to the $9B valuation given to Twitter by BlackRock), Zynga (ZNGA -7.6%) is giving back a big chunk of those gains today. Groupon (GRPN -2.3%) is also retracing its steps a bit. Zynga still has a sizable short interest, but it's well below last summer's peak. The company's Q4 report is due on Feb. 5, and Groupon's on Feb. 27. Facebook reports tomorrow.

    You may have noticed Zynga, Groupon, and Facebook have a habit of moving in the same direction. They all posted big gains yesterday even though the NASDAQ barely moved. The big valuation given to a peer (Twitter) in a funding round is almost certainly why.

    9.3% of Zynga's float was shorted as of Jan. 15. That's well below July's level, but still pretty significant.

    I believe once Zynga obtains the license to operate real money gambling games in Nevada its share will surge. Eventually all other States will follow in granting licence for this kind of operation. The revenue and profit posibilities are high and Zynga will benefit from it...
