  • Gundlach opines that 2.2B Faceook users represent 2.2B compliance breaches which could be a massive fine.
  • He also thinks that FB chart looks ugly (I guess technicals he may have mentioned 200 and 50 day moving average but I am not sure check back on that)
  • Since Gundlach was on tanget he did not spend much time on FB short but this is it in summary
  • Social media good vs i-spy media bad, bullying media
  • Regulation prices out competition good, vs monopoly bad
  • Facebook with 200 day moving average 1 year
  • Look for signs, large amount shares traded
  • Investment recommendation long xop and short facebook
