Zuckerg will not sell for one year
Mise à jour : L'ouverture du NASDAQ ce lundi confirme le scepticisme des investisseurs, puisque Facebook ouvre à 35,52 $ l'action, soit en dessous de son tarif d'introduction. Au moment où nous publions cette mise à jour, le cours de l'action continue même de baisser, à moins de 34,25 $.

Facebook IPO: Privacy Laws a ‘Risk Factor’ - Digits
By Jennifer Valentino-DeVries Facebook has taken some lumps in the past few months when it comes to user privacy – and from the looks of its IPO documents , the company expects scrutiny of its privacy practices to continue. In its long-awaited filing , the social-networking giant calls potential privacy laws and changing attitudes about privacy a potential “risk factor” for its business.
