FriendFinder Shares Off by 20%; Stock at $5.75 a Share

BOCA RATON, Fla. — FriendFinder Networks Inc., which started to trade last week on the Nasdaq, finds its shares slipping to nearly half of its initial price.

At market close on Tuesday, shares were selling at around $5.75 on the Nasdaq, down about 20 percent from Monday’s close price of $7.20.
