FB in top 10 largest data privacy settlements in U.S. historyCould the Meta Platforms sell-off be anticipated?? You have some answers here:
You were wondering wondering how Facebook used to read your mind when it comes to advertising?
Today Facebook agreed to pay $90 million to settle a data privacy lawsuit over its ability to track users’ internet use even after they had logged off using cookies.
The lawsuit was filed in 2012.
and who knows how many others will come?
There is a strong support at $200, but i think the real buy area below it.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

FB - Meta Is Showing What Is About To Come In The Stock MarketIn case you've been living under the rock, on 3rd of Feb. at the market close FB has fallen instantaniously for 20% and is since then continued to drop. I am not gonna focus on the news even though they did play a role here. Something had to happen somewhere between those large market cap stock and it looks like FB is leading the crash.
Just so you know i don't believe the entire stock market is bearish yet, just some of the large market caps as this is where long term investors start to take profits first or rotate the money into still undervalued stocks like F (ford) or PTON for example, that haven't had their true bull run yet.
Trying to count elliott waves i think we are close to the bottom which should come somewhere in the upper middle of the 2017-2020 trading range ($180-210). After that a expect typical ABC retracement of some sort back to the 70% of the initial fall to $320 price area (.702 fib. retr. lvl.) before continuing the bearish journey.
I am not a financial advisor so non of this should be taken as a financial advise. Be well.
NASDAQ:FB
META PLATFORMS, INC (FB) AnalysisMETA is in a bearish momentum since its last top reached on August 2021, the price was heavily rejected by 40.31%.
History shows that META's most significant drops range between 14.48% - 44.01%, which fits the current situation where we reject the price by 40.31%.
Moreover, price just reached critical support and dropped back by price 2 years back BUT we have to keep in mind that there is a strong trendline followed by 9 years of price action and we can definitely see a continuation to the downside to test the trendline.
The general outlook of META is to the upside since the upcoming META platform and new updates are yet to come.

Facebook/META (FB) | Technical Loading Zone!Hi,
Meta Platforms slump has attracted quite a lot of interest. Is it a buy, when to buy, why to buy, do I have to buy at all? :)
"Why to buy?" - you have to do your homework! I can tell you when to start building your positions if you have decided to invest in Meta.
Technically speaking, $170 - $220 is quite a strong area. A lot of criteria match inside the mentioned zone and to me, it looks like quite a decent area to start building your position. Use partial entries because the drop is quite massive (historical - Facebook's owner Meta Platforms saw its stock market value slump by more than $230bn on Thursday, in a record daily loss for a US firm) and the overall market sentiment is pretty much interesting :)
Some criteria:
1. Trendline
2. Strong horizontal area
3. Fibo
4. Round number $200
5. 50% drop from ATH
6. Monthly EMA100
Do your own research and invest carefully!
Regards,
Vaido
FACEBOOK: Was the crash a good sign or a bad one?On balance I am not optimistic. I think this market will struggle to close the gap.
FB lost $230 billion in one day. The CEO lost $30 billion. I can't even begin to think what that feels like.
In the video I compare the current gap of some 30% with a similar gap of ~20% back in 2018.
This video is for deep thought. There are no predictions here.
Alternative perspectives with reasoning and facts, are most appreciated.

META /FB Unique buy opportunity to double the investment at $480Following the disappointing earnings, the Meta Platforms stock (formerly Facebook FB) saw a decline of more than -25% in a day. This is not the first time that we see the market panic over FB or its earnings in particular. It is interesting to note that the correction from the September 2021 High is around -38.50%, roughly the same as the January - March 2020 correction due to the COVID outbreak. The price almost hit the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). During the COVID correction, the price dropped even more to the 1W MA300 (red trend-line) and if that takes place this time around as well, then we should be looking at roughly a -45% correction.
The last correction of that magnitude was back in July - December 2018, a disappointing period for FB due to the data scandal, new users decline, security issues and of course disappointing quarterly results. Which is more or less the situation that the company is facing today. As a result, it is easy to understand that FB is familiar with this kind of pressure and all times came out stronger with a Higher High near the next +1.0 Fibonacci extension. So even if we see one last flush to the lower MA period, this seems like a unique buy opportunity for long-term investors. The next Fibonacci extension to fill is Fib 4.0. A target slightly below is $480, which from the current levels represent +100% Return on Investment (ROI) i.e. double the capital.

Meta Platforms | Fundamental AnalysisMeta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, has been getting a lot of attention lately, primarily because of the reasons that led to the name change. The company has stressed that it will actively invest to become a leader in the metaverse. The move has divided investors into two camps.
On the one hand, the move to the metaverse expands the overall addressable market, which could provide revenue growth for more than a decade. On the other hand, some investors worry about the resources of time and capital that Meta Platforms can devote to a project with uncertain results. Nevertheless, the company's core business, social media, is experiencing steady user and revenue growth on a huge scale. Let's try to better understand Meta Platforms' business and determine if the stock is worth buying, selling, or holding in 2022.
As you know, Meta Platforms' business is fueled by its family of social media apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. These three apps bring together 2.8 million daily active users. More than a quarter of the world's population logs into one of Meta's apps every day. That's impressive and quite appealing if you're a marketer.
Meta apps are free to connect and use; the company makes money by showing its users ads. Of course, marketers are willing to pay more if their ads can be delivered to more people. What makes Meta's user base even more attractive to advertisers is that people are willing to reveal information about themselves, such as age, marital status, favorite movie, etc. Marketers can use all this information to target ads more effectively.
Improving efficiency increases the return on investment that markets get from advertising spending. For example, if a person reports that their favorite movie is "The Avengers," that's probably the perfect candidate to send out an ad for "Eternals," which is coming out in theaters right now. And as long as marketers see a good return on their investment in advertising in the Meta family of apps, they'll keep spending money.
And indeed, they do. Almost all of Meta's revenue comes from advertising, and the company's annual revenue has grown 45.8 percent over the past decade. Meta's social media business is doing pretty well, although revenue growth has slowed for four years in a row. This may be one of the reasons that prompted the company to announce an aggressive investment in creating a metaverse.
To help quantify the investments Meta will make in creating a meta-universe, the company is creating a new Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) reporting segment. CFO Dave Wehner said this segment will impact the company's $10 billion in operating income in the fiscal year 2021 and even more in subsequent years. The costs will certainly be high, but the rewards may be worth it, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg aims to have 1 billion users in the metaverse in about a decade.
Meta Platforms has a great business, and with its investment in the meta-universe, there is the potential for revenue growth over the next decade. The company's stock is also not expensive. On the contrary, trading at a price to free cash flow ratio of 26.5, they are near the bottom of their range for the past five years. The same can be said for the price-to-earnings ratio, which is 23.5. Great prospects right now, huge potential over the long term, and an inexpensive price point that makes Meta Platforms stock a buy for 2022.
FB Meta Platforms: Upside PotentialHello friends, today you can review the technical analysis on a 1D linear scale chart for Meta Platforms, Inc. (FB).
1) The price is currently in a Double Bottom Pattern with the potential of coming to a breakout area.
2) If price breaks out of the Double Bottom Pattern, it would move back inside a Parallel Channel it has been respecting since February 2020. It fell out of the channel in early October 2021 and has tried to regain access back into the channel.
3) The Volume is consistent.
4) The RSI (relative strength index) has a resistance line which the RSI is coming close to.
5) If price reaches the Double Bottom Pattern target, it would be a 20% upside move.

Meta Platforms | Fundamental Analysis |Long Setup|MUST READ 🔔Meta Platforms stock has declined markedly over the past few months. After popping a 52-week high of $384.33 three months ago, shares of this technology company have fallen more than 19%.
Meta stock appears to be cooling off after a victorious 2020 and further strong gains this summer. The stock is also likely affected by increased media and government scrutiny of the company, as well as recent iOS changes that have negatively impacted Facebook's ad measurement and tracking.
But despite the bearish trend and some negative headlines about the business in the media, parent company Facebook's core business is doing well. Given that business is doing well and the stock is falling, is this a good buying opportunity for investors? Or should investors wait for further stock declines before considering buying Meta stock?
To understand how staggering Facebook's momentum is, let's look at some key metrics from the company's Q3 earnings report. Revenues were up 35% during the reporting period, mainly due to a 33% year-over-year increase in advertising revenue, and the total number of unique daily active users across all of the company's platforms rose 11% year-over-year to 2.81 billion. The number of unique monthly active users across all platforms rose 12% to 3.58 billion.
For the fourth quarter, Facebook is forecasting revenues between $31.5 billion and $34 billion, reflecting a significant seasonal increase over third-quarter revenues of $29 billion. The midpoint of this forecast range means a 17% year-over-year increase. However, Facebook's forecasts tend to be fairly conservative, so actual growth over the period is likely to be higher.
Investors should also keep in mind Facebook's impressive cash generation. The company's free cash flow for the nine months was $25.9 billion, up from $13.8 billion last year and $15.8 billion in the same period two years ago. Facebook's 12-month free cash flow was $35.8 billion.
This strong cash generation has resulted in a huge inventory of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling more than $58 billion. This strong position combined with active cash generation has allowed Meta to actively repurchase stock. In the third quarter alone, the company repurchased $14.4 billion worth of its stock and announced a $50 billion increase in share repurchase authorization during its third-quarter results presentation.
With such strong fundamentals, it's hard to believe that the technology company's stock is trading at just 22 times earnings today. That's even more surprising when you admit that Meta's current consensus analyst forecast for its bottom line assumes earnings per share growth averaging 21 percent year-over-year over the next five years. Investors should not let Meta's recent stock decline and conservative valuation fool them. It is still a growth stock and should be valued as a growth stock.
While there is no way of knowing if this is the low point for the stock, investors who bought the stock today will likely have good results over the next few years. While there are certainly risks for Meta Platforms, including the changing digital advertising landscape, antitrust concerns, and competition from smaller social media companies such as Snap and Twitter, these risks seem to be largely embedded in Meta's conservative share price.
