"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed his disappointment at the firm&amp;#039;s performance on the stock market since its initial public offering last year. The social network&amp;#039;s stock has seen a 37% slump from its initial valuation of $38 and has never been traded above its offering price, the Financial Times reports.  Investors are said to have reacted with anger at Facebook&amp;#039;s stock market decline, saying that their businesses have suffered as a result of the firm&amp;#039;s plight. &amp;quot;Unfortunately we don&amp;#039;t really have control over what the share price is, especially in the short term,&amp;quot; Zuckerberg told shareholders. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve all been disappointed.&amp;quot; However, Zuckerberg insisted that Facebook is on the right path for growth, rejecting the notion that rival social networks and other services will wrestle significant market share from his company. &amp;quot;None of the trends that we see right now seem like they should get in the way of our success in any meaningful way,&amp;quot; he added. The company co-founder was also quick to point out that the number of &amp;#039;likes&amp;#039; and comments posted to each Facebook user is on the rise. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
