3 Facebook Small Cap Sympathy Plays For Friday

by

Facebook’s IPO at $16 billion gives Mark Zuckerberg access to more than $15 billion which suggests they may step up the pace and size of acquisitions. Here’s 3 sympathy plays I’ll be watching today that could certainly catch a bid in speculation of a buyout. As a trader I’m looking for a price between $1 and $7, market cap between $50 million and $2 billion, Beta above 1, preferably 2 and a good technical setup.

    Hey Jason you think AwesomePennyStocks new promo could last as long as their previous pick or this GWBU is a short term pick

    Should have had the forethought to short all of these at the start of the day. Can’t hold such gains on rumor of another stock. Hindsight is 20/20.

      (correction) “I should have had the forethought” (/correction) I’m not criticizing you, but myself. Thought that was an important correction to make.

      Hello Kenn, most social media stocks were hit hard Friday but I believe RENN, QPSA and ZNGA will all bounce out of this washout… my guess is a lot of short sellers targeted social media plays once Facebook face planted.
