Topic: Facebook ("Meta") down 25% in a day (Read 429 times)

That is the way it should be, let users have control over their privacy and decide what they want to share or not, Facebook and other similar companies have predatory tactics on their customers, and this simply not right, they clearly invaded the privacy of anyone that had their apps installed, so I think this is a movement that was long overdue by Apple, I wonder if Android already did the same or if it thinking about it as this could also have an impact on Facebook and its finances.

One should be worried if for example they have investments on this company and they are seeing that the development is also about to stop. But it is not. I don't think Zuck will easily give up his FB project. So that's decline is indeed a very good opportunity for some investors who believe that this company has still a lot to offer. Because in time, they can easily gain their value in the market and you will be the one laughing at them.

I would assume that all those big name investors will probably be picking it up from these low prices and they would be very happy to actually do so. All these drops do not mean anything unless the company is not doing well in the long run. If there is something wrong with the accounts then I would understand a big drop but if there is nothing wrong then there is no reason not to buy it when it is at a such low level as well. It is clear to me that we are going to see a long term great increase from them so there is no point in selling right now.

There will always be big falls, 2008 was a big fall, march 2020 was a big fall, but it always recovers and goes higher. This is enough proof for us to believe that if you buy it, you will be able to get richer by simply holding it. Simply the same strategy as crypto as well, just buy when it is low, hold as long as you can.

We know that behind the meta are people who have influence and a very wide investment network, and not as few companies that have invested large amounts of capital. So when responding to the drop in Facebook's stock yesterday, which fell drastically, there may be overlapping investors who are trying to take unilateral profits. And when the stock sales drop is discarded, then we will see the next increase in Facebook's stock price will be real owned by long-term investors, no more investor hype.

I have similar thread opened >>here<<
What happen to anything that is so dependent on others? A day will appear that you will get denied oe that bridge and if you so depend on it, you will fall so hard that you can break easily.
That's exactly what happened to Facebook and other tech giants, they rely on personalized data to disperse Ads but the new IOS updates isn't helping the companies like then.
I like it though, give privacy power to the owner, allow me to give access to whoever needs it and if I don't, so be it.

But what good thing there is they have already a huge name which can cover up and make people interest became more wider and although they have competitor still they are leading since for sure investors will think about them first to invest next to their competitors. But I also believe that they will bounce back again once they settle all things needed to consider to completely make this project comes to reality.

There were too many things happening against the interests of Facebook which eventually lead to this drastic fall on the price of its shares, Apple changed its privacy policies which made more difficult for Facebook to serve ads, which is their main form of income, the economic crisis made that many business cut down on costs and this included advertising on Facebook, TikTok appeared and it is way more popular among the young stealing users from Facebook, so when we add all of this it is not really surprising that Facebook lost so much money so quickly.

Personally, I don't see anything special about Facebook's stock dropping 26%, as stated in the information and your source. Why is that? The fact is that any drop in prices for shares or other assets says only one thing, that someone sold the shares and cashed out. But more interesting questions, who did it and why? for example, not so long ago, shares of other well-known American companies, such as Elon Musk's Tesla, fell in price. Or maybe the guys are just withdrawing a little money from their companies because they know something not very good? Well, for example, the fact that soon the United States will stop financing such companies by printing new money, which may affect an even greater fall in prices for shares of companies. If so, then not very good events await us in front of us, including for the crypto market.

Who told Mark Zuckerberg to come up with that semi-bald avatar of his while doing that Meta advertisement. I think most people already associate his image with that of a defiant billionaire who had no qualms about the privacy policy of facebook or the incidents like cambridge analytica. They never formally apologized to the users and then their next best idea was to actually surround people in a make-believe world so that they could have more attention than just visual and auditory.

I am glad that the market reacted this way. Nobody uses facebook and then you go around and use a plagiarized name. Could they still go back to calling themselves facebook?

Actually there are two big competitors are being more effective the first one if Google which includes YouTube as well and the next big one is Tiktok which is actually bring the short video concept and became successful big social media all around the world so Facebook is not getting much ads as before so they are not growing as they expected and everything happened suddenly when investors tried to pull out some money.

I don't think Facebook's one-day plummet is because of that, else we would have seen many other companies' stocks dropping in sync, but that isn't what happened. 

I'm also very confused as to what the real economic situation is.  You say it's weak globally, yet all around me I see businesses that can't find employees.  In addition to that, there seems to be a lot of people with an abundance of cash to spend on frivolous things such as NFTs--plus the stock market is still headed upward.  So nah, I think Facebook's stock drop has everything to do with how investors see them and their prospects for the future.  Social media is a relatively new thing, remember.  Younger members might not remember a time when it didn't exist, but I sure as hell do.  There's no telling whether FB is going to remain dominant in the space or even if they'll remain profitable.

I think they are actually preparing it, to become a pioneer, innovation is needed even though they is only changing the name or from the cover side first.  Their new ideas and ideas were enough to make them the first to attend.  But again, the competition is very promising and competitors are very ready to compete.  So who is in charge, they as the pioneer of Metaverse.

Well maybe they are not prepared for transitioning to Metaverse that's why they struggle that far and in result their share drops and create a huge news among their investors. But I believe all will settleback knowing we are talking about facebook here so for sure they can recover those losses knowing that they are a huge company which many willing investors would love to catch those dips.

This is an opportunity for investors to enter and buy up Facebook shares, I think what is happening to Facebook today is because of the tight competition among social media companies that are currently growing, besides the large number of user data leaks that have resulted in a decline in daily Facebook users what happened was quite significant, so it is clear that this makes Facebook valuation value also decline in the market, reportedly the loss that Facebook is getting is now the biggest loss for a company in America so far, But to be honest, if you look at the magnitude of the influence of Facebook in today modern era, of course decrease it will not last long and maybe they will be able to bounce back in the next few weeks.

The concern is whether the agreement to change Facebook to Meta is actually a wrong decision? because after all when Facebook has not evolved to Meta stability is still fine. In addition, the current hype is also unstoppable, while investors only take advantage of temporary increases to take profits. So it's better for Facebook to stay on social media, which is nothing more than that so that financial stability doesn't drop like this. We all know Hype is being targeted by anyone to raise money and if Hype is finished then inevitably the disposal will be clearly visible.

It's a price drop, users are getting out of Meta so yeah I think that it's definitely a price drop. Metaverse is pretty janky so people don't really buy that it's the future and not to mention that virtual reality rooms have been a thing for a long time already andd Meta introducing Metaverse didn't generate enough hype.

So this could be one of the reasons why Facebook stocks has dump massively the past days. I just learned about the apple issue today, but I already foreseen the possibility that facebook would go downtrend because it is having a hard time staying relevant nowadays that there are already more social media platforms blooming as well as other means of entertainment for the youth and adults to enjoy. I really think it is one of the major reasons why Facebook's stock is declining aside from the usual dump they experience way back. Right now, a lot of competitive and enjoyable applications have been surfacing and most people really patronize it. The number of active users and new users aren't really going up because they are already diversified in other platforms that could keep them entertained and at the same time, updated. I bet Facebook have also predicted it is going to happen in the future which in this case is now. That is why they decided to rebrand the name to Metaverse and have so much plans about projects about it in the future at hand. This could be their way to stay relevant despite the competition and maybe to garner more users in different brackets. I also don't have any idea how Metaverse would work in the future but I hope it's good enough to sustain the economy of Facebook.

Indeed. The losses for Facebook are not a big deal because the Facebook team will try their best to recover from the down. And as a big company, maybe Facebook is already researching why that can happen because their team will make sure that nothing worst happens to them.

After all, Facebook is still a big company that will not let anything stop them from achieving what they want. Facebook can handle those things and recover their losses so there is nothing to worry about.

Personally, I still feel that Facebook is doing well. Currently there is no social media platform that we can say is bigger than Facebook, because these guys own all the big names that you hear in social media space, which includes Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook itself. All these three social media platforms combined pulls a greater weight and is bigger than every other social media platform so far.

Having a bad market day isn’t something so serious, because it does happen. In every business there are times that they do experience loss, but as time goes on it picks up immediately. So that Facebook is losing 25% today doesn’t mean that they won’t be recovering the next day or so. So this doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.

IMO, the most plausible reason related to the losses experienced by Meta and Facebook is the increasingly competitive and innovative competitors such as TikTok and the privacy policies implemented by Apple.

And for now, the reason why quite a lot of people are selling their Meta shares is that the "hype" of the Metaverse has disappeared and not many people are interested in getting into this world of Metaverse. And also what Meta displays on their platform does not match the expectations of the users, so many people are disappointed.

Currently, most Meta investors are looking at this platform in the long term because of course the Metaverse technology will evolve. And it is estimated that Meta stocks will be heavy to rebound shortly (https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2022/02/03/facebook-faces-an-existential-moment-after-230-billion-stock-crash/?sh=7e4e7906359b).
