Quoting myself, but to those that thought shorting Facebook stock was a good idea please note:
June 25 $234.72
June 29 $209.50
July 1 $237.55

Facebook has done the absolute minimum and the stock bounced back in 2 days. I would argue they could have done nothing and they would have seen a similar bounce back. They have more than enough market power to withstand a temporary boycott from a few sponsors.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
