Damned If You Do

Why the stock market's no place for normal people: Facebook issued its first quarterly earnings report as a public company. It met analysts' projections. The market's reaction? Sharp selloff. Why? Because they're spending too much. See, if you meet or exceed one goal, they'll look for something else you failed at, and bam. By the time a small investor realizes that, the big guns will have sold and the price will have plummeted. See if your online brokerage account can react fast enough (hint: it can't).
