- Friday, August 17, 2012, 11:52 AM Facebook (FB -2.9%) sells off yet again - shares are down 9% since the company saw its first lockup expire yesterday, and 49% from IPO levels. The potential impact of the decline on employee morale and retention hasn't been lost on Mark Zuckerberg, who reportedly acknowledged the issue at a company meeting this month. According to SecondMarket's data, anyone who has bought Facebook since Nov. 2010 is now underwater. 8 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 29, 2012, 10:56 AM In spite of today's rally, Facebook (FB -5.6%) is falling to new post-IPO lows in early trading, and is once more taking related names down with it. ZNGA -3.9%. SVVC -1.6%. GSVC -2.3%. Investor unease with Facebook's reported plans to become a smartphone vendor could be playing a role, but the company's still-high valuation is a more likely culprit. 13 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 23, 2012, 7:14 PM Clobbered over the last week due to Facebook's (FB) less-than-stellar IPO, GSV Capital (GSVC +4.9%) is now trying to downplay its Facebook exposure. Facebook only makes up 4% of GSV's overall holdings, says CEO Michael Moe, and 2013 IPO candidate Twitter is actually the company's largest position. Meanwhile, fellow Facebook owner SVVC has seen its price fall below its net asset value. 1 Comment [Tech, Financials]
- Monday, May 21, 2012, 9:54 AM Facebook (FB -13.2%) tumbles in early trading to $33.20; even after the selloff, the company trades at nearly 23x sales and 75x trailing EPS. Not helping is BTIG's decision to launch coverage at Neutral; in-line with earlier comments, the firm is worried about Facebook's valuation, decelerating growth, and ad monetization issues. Also lower: RENN -8.3%. ZNGA -7.1%. YELP -6.8%. LNKD -6.1%. GRPN -4.8%. SVVC -7.4%. GSVC -10%. 16 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, May 18, 2012, 11:47 AM Facebook's (FB +3%) weaker-than-expected debut is leading to a massive selloff in Facebook-related plays, and (to a lesser extent) Internet stocks in general. ZNGA -13.3%. RENN -9.4%. GSVC -12.4%. SVVC -18.6%. P -6%. GRPN -4.9%. YELP -4.4%. QPSA -5.1%. Facebook is now changing hands at $39.12. 14 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, May 18, 2012, 11:18 AM Indications that Facebook (FB) will open in the low-to-mid $40s, below the expectations of some, have contributed to a selloff in the NASDAQ, which is now trading near breakeven. Facebook-related plays are also moving lower. GSVC -3.8%. SVVC -9.3%. ZNGA -2.4%. RENN -7.4%. Trading has been delayed, but is expected to begin in minutes. 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, May 18, 2012, 10:31 AM GSV Capital (GSVC -1.2%) and the Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC -3.1%), each of which have invested in Facebook ahead of its IPO, are trading lower ahead of Facebook's 11 A.M. ET open. GSVC is now down 11% on the week. Is this a sign investors are fretting about Facebook's post-IPO performance, or just that speculators are choosing to play it safe and cash out? Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 9:47 AM GSV Capital (GSVC +6.5%) and the Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC +3.9%), each of which have taken out sizable Facebook (FB) positions, are adding to yesterday's gains after the social networking giant raised its IPO price range to $34-$38. Zynga (ZNGA +5.9%), which derives most of its revenue from Facebook, is also rallying. Also higher: QPSA +5.4%. RENN +8.8%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, May 11, 2012, 9:42 AM Shares of Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC -2.3%) fall lower on concerns big institutional orders for Facebook won't be piling in. Fellow Facebook play GSV Capital (GSVC -10.4%) could see some of the same jitters on top of a secondary offering of 6M shares priced at $16.25 a pop by the company. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 3, 2012, 3:50 PM Facebook (FB) officially sets its IPO price range at $28-$35 in a new S-1. The company plans to sell 337.4M shares (180M in new shares, 157.4M from insiders) for a total offering size of $9.45B-$11.8B, higher than many expected. Mark Zuckerberg will sell 30.2M shares. The over-allotment option is 50.6M shares. Facebook's expected valuation range is $77B-$96B after factoring in restricted shares and options. IPO plays are following the tech sector lower: GSVC -3%. SVVC -3.1%. 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 2, 2012, 1:48 PM Two favorites of Facebook (FB) IPO speculators, the Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC +5.1%) and GSV Capital (GSVC +7.5%), are rallying after its was reported that Facebook would launch its road show on Monday and plans to begin trading on May 18. In addition, Firsthand has announced it has made a $1.8M investment in Twitter. 2 Comments [Tech, Financials, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 1:05 PM Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC) pops a 8.8% gain after the fund discloses that its latest position in Facebook is up to 600K shares. Holdings in the fund that specializes in private tech names include Facebook (26%), Intevac (5%), Silicon Genesis (4%), and Yelp (3%). 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

losbronces: SVVC has 18% FB and other speculative issues as well. Since FB did so poorly, I suppose the assumption is the others won't perform.

Funkengruven: Yes you did, and good advice it was. I thought the gain would be minimal so I played very lightly. But did you think it would tank so bad?
