Facebook Debaucle; What Goes Up...Does Not Always Go Up
Many "investors" asked throughout the day as they turned on to their CP24 "news" source and discovered Facebook shares being hit hard.

CFL: Manziel To Have His Day In the Canadian Spotlight
After nearly an entire season of losing and a highly touted quarterback sitting on the sidelines down the highway, it looks as though Johnny Football will have a team to start and showcase his wares.
Whether the Alouettes are the team for him we will find out. Although based on his past headlines, Montreal is the town for him.
If he can keep out of the media spotlight during his off field activities, then maybe he will be the answer to Montreal's and the Eastern Conference's attendance woes.
