Facebook shares dip below $20 for first time


    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Shares of Facebook Inc dipped below $20 for the first time on Thursday, pummeled by growing doubts about its growth prospects, a string of recent executive departures, and the August 16 expiration of a lockup period on insiders' share sales.

    The stock hit a low of $19.91 in heavy early afternoon trading. It has now lost almost half its value since debuting at $38 in May in the largest IPO ever to emerge from Silicon Valley.
