No, in many cases these are actual, realized losses, as in "we bought at this price and sold at this much lower price". They have no money, and no stock. Recovery of the stock is irrelevant to them.
Well they shouldn't have bought it. Sorry but that's capitalism and the way the market works. If you invest, you invest in the possibility of it going down.
Day and Short-termers should have known it wasn't going to do well. For me, this stock was literally the Grinch. And long-term investors well it certainly hasn't been long-term yet now has it.
But really, why anyone bought any Facebook stock...I'm just clueless.
