Twitter To IPO
 
Quote:
Twitter revealed its confidential IPO filing today, clearing the way for one of largest and most hyped IPOs since Facebook.

The filing reveals that the company is still growing, but is losing money. It also provides some insight into which of the major insiders will be making a sizable wealth from the IPO.

No surprise. No clear path to monetary victory, ATM. I'd steer clear, but then again, I have a dislike for unprofitable companies. Another reason I hate the Silicon Valley way of thinking: If you build it, money will come.

We could start a new company called Twitterbookedin and the eventual IPO could be record breaking...still with no profit

My question has always been for this internet entities like Facebook and Twitter has been: what have they really built? Or what do they really have?

They really haven't built anything tangible. It's all based on ad revenue.

Once the "next best thing" comes along, these companies can go from high on the hog to bankrupt in literally a couple months. What assets do they really have other than an office building (that they probably are leasing) and a few computers (again, that they are probably leasing). Once these internet companies begin to lose their footing, they almost free fall straight to bankruptcy...but of course not until after all the "principal partners" have cashed in.

Twitter Inc revealed on Tuesday a tripling in quarterly losses as it prepares to list on the New York Stock Exchange in one of the year's most anticipated IPOs.

The online messaging service's decision to go with the older exchange deals a blow to the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which bungled Facebook Inc's 2012 offering. Twitter is now expected to kick off its investor roadshow on October 28 where it will pitch its offering to Wall Street before shares start trade in mid-November, two sources familiar with the situation said Tuesday.

Indeed. This is the Catch-22 with Internet businesses (and I run a handful). But, alas, the barrier to entry to market is what drives people there (including myself). With little to no capital somebody can start a business (almost) literally overnight.

Social media darling Twitter's stock debuted Thursday on Wall Street at a trading price of $45.10 — well above the $26 a share initial offering price the company set.

It appeared, traders say, that there were no problems with the launch of the stock.

I'd bet they made damn sure everything went smoothly.
Appears it has.
I do NOT trust it.
no one should...its a money grab!
It's 'worth' is its IPO price (if that!)....and I still won't touch it.
The 'selloff' will be slower and 'they' (the select few) will profit much....ahead of the social networking site for the next generation.

The Facebook IPO looked and seemed, to me, to be nothing but a money grab...with people in the "know" cashing out asap while trying to prop the stock up so others will buy it.

The Twitter IPO appeared, again to me, that there were actually more buyers than sellers (opposite of the Facebook IPO)...so it certainly doesn't seem to be as nefarious as what the Facebook situation seemed.

Regardless...I still don't see how there can be that much "value" into a non-tangible entity...but that is what much of the "new" American economy is, imo.

Shares of the microblogging site are down more than 5% Monday, pushing Twitter’s stock price briefly below $60. It’s the second day of a sell-off. On Friday, Twitter’s shares dropped 13%, erasing more than $5 billion of its market capitalization.

On Monday, by late morning, Twitter lost an additional $2 billion in its market cap.

The rapid sell-off in Twitter’s stock comes after an epic rally pushed the stock up 182% from its Nov. 6 $26 initial public offering price.

Even with this two-day sell-off, Twitter shares remain up 130% from the IPO price, and it is still one of the year’s best-performing IPOs.
