  • 11:34 AM Facebook's (FB) precipitous decline yesterday tripped a circuit-breaker just 15 minutes after the open and triggered restrictions on shorting. The break will remain in place until the end of today's session. Finra data shows that 23.6M Facebook shares were shorted on Friday and 6.4M yesterday.

  • 9:43 AM It's happening again. Facebook (FB -7%) dives in early trading to $31.65 - shares are now down 17% from their $38 IPO price, though the company's multiples are still high. If Facebook doesn't soon reverse course, class-action suits over last week's increase in its offering price may just be a matter of time. (also)

  • 8:32 AM Analysts at Facebook's (FB) lead underwriters cut their revenue estimates ahead of the IPO, reports Reuters, passing the information on to a few of their key clients. "My biggest hedge fund client told me they lowered their numbers right around mid-roadshow," says an IPO researcher. He still bought the issue, he says, but flipped it immediately and went short. Shares -3.8% premarket.

  • 8:12 AM Facebook (FB -2.4%) continues to fall as the blame game starts over responsibility for its 11% slump yesterday. Among the chief names are Morgan Stanley (MS), the lead underwriter; Nasdaq (NDAQ), for the tech problems on Friday; and of course Facebook. Among the criticisms: the price was too high and too many shares were sold.

  • Monday 6:49 PM Microsoft (MSFT) has quietly launched a social networking site called So.cl. Rather than directly competing with Microsoft partner Facebook (FB) a la Google+, So.cl focuses on the sharing of searches and the aggregation/discovery of multimedia content. The launch comes shortly after Microsoft revamped Bing to provide deeper Facebook/Twitter integration. (previous)

  • Monday 5:22 PM Henry Blodget sets a target range of $16-$24 for Facebook (FB -11%), based on a valuation of 20x-30x a 2013 EPS estimate of $0.80. Blodget's retort to those bullish due to Facebook's growth potential: Facebook has already been working on monetization for years; Mark Zuckerberg cares more about Facebook's "social mission" than its business; and the company's next billion users, weighted towards emerging markets, will be much less valuable than its first billion.
