FB. Half a "no brainer". I believe you have all the information you need to make the buy decision now. Only brain activity is to determine position size, and whether to lag into it -- and conclusions from that activity could be significant.

After today's downdraft and my recent FB buys, FB is a 4% position in my account. Considering the Kelly Criterion (essentially buying more, the more you believe you can win than you might lose), 4% is not a big position. So as I look at myself, either I don't believe the stock is really a no-brainer here, or I'm too afraid to act appropriately (buy large) even if it were, or maybe some of both.

I'm not recommending the stock to anybody.
I'm figuring for me, if I can hold on, the probabilities are favorable for the stock to rise eventually. But who knows? Hence, not a really big bet.
