Facebook's Wild Week

Updated

Today, Fool.com tech analysts Eric Bleeker and Andrew Tonner discuss Facebook's wildly volatile ride last week. There were multiple triggers throughout the week, including a negative article in Barron's, but then the company soared at the end of the week on news about Facebook's new platform for gift-giving.

We've outlined them in our newest premium research report. There is a lot more to this company than meets the eye, so read up on whether there is anything to "like" about it today, and we'll tell you whether we think Facebook deserves a place in your portfolio.
