Facebook Equity Dashboard

Far too much social signal, news, headlines, and media speculation about Facebook that are available to investors today. That information is available publicly through Facebook media outlets and privately through word of mouth or via Facebook internal channels. However, regardless of the origin, that massive amount of Facebook data is challenging to quantify into actionable patterns, especially for investors that are not very sophisticated with ever-evolving tools and techniques used in the investment management field.

A primary focus of Facebook news analysis is to determine if its current price reflects all relevant headlines and social signals impacting the current market conditions. A news analyst typically looks at the history of Facebook relative headlines and hype rather than examining external drivers such as technical or fundamental data. It is believed that price action tends to repeat itself due to investors' collective, patterned thinking related to Facebook's headlines and news coverage data. This data is often completely overlooked or insufficiently analyzed for actionable insights to drive Facebook alpha.

Most investors accept the general idea that the market moves back and forth in trends. These trends are simply referred to as bull and bear market cycles. Each bull market begins after a day that signals the beginning of a new uptrend, whereas every bear market starts after the long-term downward trend is projected forward. Using Facebook stock market historical data and studying specific examples from the stock market past, makes it easier to put current market moves in context, while making an informed buy or sell decision.
