They didn't anticipate _your individual_ actions, but it's highly likely that the persons that bought into Facebook's IPO did expect that they would be able to sell the stock to _someone_ at a later date.

So, yes, people anticipated your actions now (if you look at _your_ actions as the general actions of the crowd, instead of your individual actions)
