Monday marks the day that many Facebook employees will rise and shine, singing a tune something like this:
More than 225 million shares of the social network will be eligible for sale on Monday, totaling $5.2 billion based on Wednesday’s closing price of $23.23. If Facebook employees sell enough shares, it’s stock will likely drop.
One analyst predicts that Facebook stock could drop as much as 10 percent, provided half of it is sold and buyers step-in to absorb some of the demand.
