Meta: way oversold on Friday? If so, it's way oversold today. Down another 4% or $10; trading at $226. If you like FB at $323 last week, you should be loving FB at $226 today. Without question, the easiest 10% advance this year will be on FB. My hunch: 20%. 

• 1.2 * 226 = $271. $271 would still be way below $226, and sport a very reasonable P/E.
