Facebook tumbled to hit new lows, hurt by several downbeat reports from analysts. Analyst concerns ranged from advertising revenue to the end of lockup periods when insiders could flood the market with addition stock sales. Shares of the social media giant fell to less than half its IPO in May.

Zynga , which gets the bulk of its revenue from Facebook, also traded lower.

Gold and gold stocks including Newmont Mining, Barrick Gold, NovaGoldResources,Goldcorp and Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold traded higher following comments by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
