Ironically, investors pulling out might be good for Zuckerberg.
If a business is highly profitable but the investors don't see it that way, then it may make sense for him to take the company private again.
This happened with Dell about 6 years ago. Michael Dell believed Dell was worth much more, but the market disagreed. He was able to buy back all the shares and take it private again.
