Facebook trades under $30, down 7%+
I assume it was financially healthy for a very small group of people within Facebook. Most of the employees would be on lockdown before they can sell their stocks on the public market, no?

Facebook, the company, got a lot of money out of the IPO, not Facebook's individual employee holdings.

Insiders got even more out of the IPO than the company did.

I am assuming they have to wait 6 months, by then FB will not be worth much compared to their strike price.

At this rate these 3 months will feel very long and they will be pretty much "a worry" for those affected.

It's 6 months for most employees.
