Decline in Shareholder interest, What Facebook did wrong.

Facebook is a company that has become ubiquitous with social networking and connecting with friends and family. A company whose market capital amounts to 150.68 Billion, Facebook stock price today is $59.16 which has declined by -5.21% since the market opened yesterday. The Facebook stock price in October 2013 was $50/share and by the late February it rose to about $70/share. During this time Facebook acquired Whatsapp in late February. After this in the month of April, its stock price fell to $58.68/share. This may be due to the fact that after they acquired Whatsapp, even if that move does play a heavily beneficial role towards their stock prices in the long run, for now Facebook stock quote $59.16/share as it fell from $70/share after acquiring Whatsapp because Facebook invested heavily in acquiring Whatsapp and therefore may have been a subject to losses and therefore the stock price fell during this particular time.
