Facebook most searched stocks September

Mark Zuckerberg might be annoying his neighbors but his investors have little to complain about.

Facebook (FB) churned out a solid 5.6% advance in September, easily besting slumping Internet stocks like Weibo (WB) (-6%), LinkedIn (LNKD) (-8%) and Yelp (YELP) (-17%).

The world's largest social network celebrated a milestone in September, surpassing $200 billion in market valuation for the first time.

That means Wall Street now believes Facebook is more valuable than older tech giants like Oracle (ORCL), IBM (IBM) and Intel (INTC).
