On Wednesday, Shares of Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), gained 0.59% to $93.45.
Facebook users took to the social media site on Wednesday to react to the company’s decision to test what Facebook Inc Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg called a “dislike button” - and not everyone liked the idea, according to Reuters.
In a town hall-style question and answer session Tuesday, Zuckerberg took questions from users about topics ranging from virtual reality to his wife’s pregnancy. Yet most Facebook users fixated on his declaration that the 1.5-billion user social network was working on adding a button other than “like.”
Users flooded Zuckerberg’s official Facebook page with nearly 3,000 comments largely about the dislike option. While some said they would use Facebook more if the button were introduced, others said it would lead to cyberbullying and more negativity on the site. Reuters Reports
“Please don’t put a dislike button, as much as there is times I would love it, would much rather express my thoughts in words to be completely direct on my opinion,” said user Andrea Robichaud.

Shares of Teck Resources Limited (NYSE:TCK), inclined 3.58% to $6.65, during its last trading session.
Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the rating of Teck Resources Ltd to junk on Monday, blaming weak commodity prices and heavy capital spending by the Canadian miner, according to Reuters.
Moody’s said it was cutting Teck’s senior unsecured rating by one notch to Ba1 from Baa3. Teck’s ratings outlook remains negative, it added.
Credit downgrades typically drive up the cost of borrowing for companies, as some big investors will only buy investment grade bonds. Reuters Reports
“We expect prolonged commodity price weakness and sizable investment spending will cause Teck’s financial leverage to remain well in excess of typical investment grade thresholds through at least 2017,” Moody’s said in a statement.
Teck Resources Limited explores, develops, and produces natural resources in the Americas, the Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa. Its principal products comprise copper, counting copper concentrates and cathode copper; steelmaking coal; and refined zinc and zinc concentrates.
