MYB: Facebook stock hits new lows and co-founder Saverin speaks out on paying his U.S. taxes

It was the stock everyone thought couldn't lose. But yesterday, Facebook stock lost another nearly 10% yesterday.

Since it's IPO, the stock has lost nearly a quarter of its value, closing below $30 yesterday. This morning in pre-market trade, it's down again.

The new lows are partly due to speculation that the company is prepping to buy a Norwegian mobile browser developer called Opera. Facebook needs help in mobile operations but investors questioned whether this would be the right fit.

In other Facebook news, co-founder Eduardo Saverin took time to talk with Brazilian newspaper "Veja" to address speculation that he moved to Singapore to avoid paying taxes on his Facebook holdings.

"The decision was strictly based on my interest of living and working in Singapore," Saverin tells the paper. "I am obligated and I will pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the American government."

He also said he has already paid and will continue to pay his taxes in the U.S.

MYB: Mortgage rates at record lows

In today’s Minding Your Business segment, Christine Romans has very good news: the housing market may finally be healing.

Interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are down to 3.78 percent, almost a full point below where it was just a year ago. Romans explains that this is a significant difference, with the potential to save tens of thousands of dollars in lower interest payments over the lifetime of a loan.

The spring selling season is also finally showing a pulse, with home sales up 10 percent.

Romans' "one thing you need to know" about your money today? Morgan Stanley is reviewing every single trade that was made on Facebook's IPO. So if you paid too much because of the NASDAQ’s technical problems, you may be getting some money back.

MYB: Facebook fiasco continues to grow

The New York Stock Exchange is courting Facebook, hoping to convince the social network to leave NASDAQ after a rocky public start.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the NYSE has been emailing with Facebook saying that they are better for trading because they use people, not computers.

The social network is also dealing with investor outrage, with at least three people are suing Facebook and its underwriters and accusing them of withholding information before the IPO launch.

In today's Minding Your Business, Mary Snow explains why the technical issues with NASDAQ are only the start of Facebook’s problems.
