Not if you don't care anything about the stock price or money. He just made 1.13 bln dollars for his company. If he invests it directly in fb related growth he no longer has to worry about what NASDAQ does. He's making fb independent of the media fluctuation or the fact that he has shareholders for all. The question becomes, what would you do if you you had a successful company and you were just given 1.13 bln dollars without any strings?
