Is Facebook due for a correction?

September 8, 2017 by Don Roth

A premium member noticed social media, specifically Facebook enjoying some nice profits lately and wondered if it was due for a correction. Here's my response: FB has just ripped higher from my recommendation early this year; see green arrow. All of the lines on the chart (below) represent support zones.
