ANGI, FB, and ZNGA all flopped on the day of insider lock-out expiration.

So what happened with Yelp on the day of lock-out expiration? It flopped to right? Nope. The insiders did not dump shares as was expected. Short positions got spooked and we saw a huge short squeeze pumping the stock up 23%.

Surely today it would flop? Again, not really. I guess Yelp is no ANGI/FB/ZNGA according to this article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/838521-why-yelp-is-not-like-facebook?source=yahoo

Nov 14th is the big day for FB. 1.2B shares get unlocked! that represents more than 50% of the 2.3B shares out there.

Who will put their money where their mouth is and short or acquire put options around this Nov 14th date?

I'm a big pussy and won't, although I feel pretty sure that I could make a little bonus doing so.

Wish it was that easy. :)

Looking at the balance sheet, I'd be a buyer of ZNGA. ZNGA has about 50% cash compared to its market cap. Of course this stock is speculative so don't bet with the money you cannot afford to lose.

And there is only one thing standing between shareholders and that cash -- shares owned by founder and CEO Mark Pincus that give him over 50 percent of the voting rights.
