#FaceTheNumber: Facebook's Low Is One Man's High
We asked our viewers and followers how low they thought $FB's share price would go by its one-month anniversary on June 15. Folks had to tweet us their price by June 11 at @CNBCSquawkSt with the hashtag #FaceTheNumber. Did we mention the winner receives a CNBC “hoodie” signed by S.O.T.S. hosts?
- The @CNBCSquawkSt team send out this tweet on June 6th, alerting its followers of the new contest:
#FaceTheNumber: At what price do you think Facebook ($FB) will bottom out? Tweet to win @CNBC hoodie! Official Rules: sots.cnbc.com- Mr. Ivan The K responded:
- Yes, Ivan nailed it.
- Allan, not so much.
- 13 days later, CNBC announced on-air the proud winner of a CNBC-signed hoodie:
- Tweets congratulating the winner were also sent:
- #FaceTheNumber Sweepstakes: And the winner is... @IvanTheK! Congratulations from all of us on @CNBCSquawkSt.
Congrats to @IvanTheK, winner of @CNBCSquawkSt's #FaceTheNumber sweepstakes! We can't wait to see you in that autographed hoodie.- Which were then followed by tens of tweets from CNBC talent and viewers:
- After a 15 minute Twitter hiatus, Ivan returned to his feed to notice a pile of mentions & congratulatory tweets. Overcome with emotion, he sent this to his loyal following:
Thanks for the kind words everyone! And thanks @CNBCSquawkSt! I will augment my avatar when I receive the goods.- And augment his hoodie avatar he shall... Congrats, winner.
