How do I bet against Facebook on the stock market? - Unlucky Road Stain - 10-15-2012 08:00 PM
I think Facebook is going to crash and burn-literally. I bet within 1.5 months it will be at 20 dollars a share or lower. How would I invest to bet against it?
I do NOT want to do these 2 options.
1. Invest in a different social network service. I think they are all flat and obsolete due to new mobile devices.
2. ETFs that attempt to invest in a counter 'basket' of stocks. I think facebook will Fail all by itself, without having positive or negative effects on anyone else.

You do not seem to know how stocks work. You cannot "bet against" stocks. If you want to bet, go to a gambling website.

Short facebook.
EDIT: You might want to put this into the finance/business section, as they probably will know more than we will!

I really don't know, sorry about that, however I have a question for you.
Where can I view the realtime updates of the stock market prices of facebook?

Wow... Obviously the people who answered this don't know anything about stocks... *Aria* is speakin out there *Bum*.... It's called getting "shorts"... You are landed the stocks from a broker. Then u sell the Stocks. Then when the stock goes down. You buy the stocks back that weren't lent to you with the profit u made. Then return the stocks to the broker... Then keep the cash that's left over.....
I think Facebook will be a great choice for "shorts"... But that's a gamble...
