As Facebook's stock price continues to hit new lows, some investors are questioning whether Mark Zuckerburg, Facebook's founder and CEO, is still suitable for the job.

A Los Angeles Times story quoted four such investors, who say "Zuckerberg should remain as a creative force, but the company should hire an experienced CEO to run things." What do you think? Should a more seasoned CEO replace Zuck?

Nobody should have believed the stock price. I blame the investors and the market. Zuckerberg did an excellent job of creating value -- they mis-priced FB.

He's made his money, so whats the big deal.

All i know is anyone that bought into the FB IPO lost their butt, what fools. It might be a semi decent stock to buy now at $20, but why buy a stock that has no dividends?

Pass, to volatile.

Although I must admit... I love watching a young, arrogant, idea-stealing punk talk up his company, only to watch it tank when it goes public. All the old dinosaurs must be having a real laugh at this jerk right about now.

He set the price for the IPO before launch. HE is the one who mad bad business decisions and he made the decision to go public before it would be economically feasible to do so.

He should step down.

Zuckerberg and a team at Facebook set the starting price. That is by all reports that I have seen, including 2 reports issued to me by Fidelity and Vanguard. The report from Vanguard warned me NOT to invest, therefore I didn't thankfully. I would have lost most of my retirement if I did.

And yet FACEBOOK set the starting IPO Price. It was the market that caused that price to plummet like a brick in the Pacific. It seems that you don't know how IPO's work while all the analysts I have read info from, including both companies that I hold 401k's with, have told me otherwise.

Unless you have a college degree in the stock exchange, I think the analysts that work for the companies I trade with know more than you do about the market.

P.S. I'm a Libertarian, if you know what that is. Which obviously you don't

Well, let's see. They recently announced that about 30% of their accounts are duplicates or fakes or "stalker" profiles. Their stock performance is not great, and it is not getting better, people are leaving facebook because of all the spybots and trackers and virus alerts, and anyone wonders why stock price is flat??

Maybe, thos of us who use FB, are tired of all the crap and just want the original incarnation back, along with better security and less advertising.

No, not at all. I have never used Facebook and would never purchase its stock. I warned everybody I knew that the stock was a pump and dump and now I am laughing at those who didnt listen. Idiots get what they deserve. Thats what they get for investing in someone who calls his own clients idiots for trusting him.

So what was "ignornat" about my comment? Afterall, I was right about the stock. And it was from Zuckerbergs own emails that were hacked where he was calling Facebook users idiots for trusting him.
