Pandora Stock Now A Loss For Every Holder Who Hasn't Flipped

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Pandora's box of relentless selling is now jammed open. The stock which opened for trading at $16 is now a loss for every holder who hasn't sold since the IPO. The half life of the dot come tech bubble is now just over 24 hours. Next stop: $2.

One chart is always worth a thousand words.

Welcome to Bizzaro World.

 

Although they need to start actually bringing in money before I would call it a solid business. But potential perhaps. Depends almost squarely on whether or not people are willing to pay for services more than likely.

And that does not even touch the paid services out there.

People don't know what Pandora is.  The failure is evident in the stock price, but I don't believe it's due to it's lack of a product.

For every bubble (and yes, the Bernank-fueled bubble of the last 24 months was epic and potentially proportionately bigger - when [lack of] real demand during the crack up is taken into account - than some very large past bubbles) there is an X marks the spot moment that signals the top.

P, LNKD, the decision to shelve the IPO and take Face-Shart-Book to private market...there's lots more to choose from.

Ben Blows Bubbles from B52s Bernank should feel proud to part of an elite club.

The dxy can't break thru 76.  It met huge selling right around 76.  The downturn in DXY sent the market rocketing higher when it was near support.  If the DXY makes it back up above 76.50, look out below in the ES.  Still, this rally is one of the bigger "WTF" moments ever.  Philly Fed completely misses, yet the market rallies about 90 points off the low?  What the fuck?  Not sure if the market is "pricing in" QE3 or what.  But they can't QE3 with oil above 90, so it's not coming for at least a few weeks.

Sorry, what "market" are you referring to?

It's all run by gov't sponsored algos.  No market exists other than the one being price manipulated for implementation of Fed policy.

It's silly to analyze "the market" as it has become a gov't market.  And governments always topple.

Don’t despair all you Pandora investors who bought and held at $26. There’s always going to be another IPO launching for you just around the corner. I’m going to create a new dot com website around my used car dealership next week. Goldman tells me they can take us public with a $2 billion cap if I let them manage the offering and take a $billion in trading profits for themselves in the process.

Didn't they tell their suckers, I mean investors that they had to shorten the name of the company from Pandora's Box to Pandora in order to drum up business.

Well, it's been opened now via the IPO and guess what-there's no way out without suffering a big loss.

What? Did you expect anything remotely different from Henry Blodget. The writer is banned for life from the securities industry and was fined $4,000,000 for writing very favorable public research reports during his tenure as an internet stock analyst at Merrill Lynch, while at the same time trashing these same companies in private communications. If you were to run into him over drinks in Harry's at Hanover Square I am sure he would be singing a different tune.

"Next stop: $2."

Can someone explain to me why this money loser has value and sino forest is junk. Is it because it is a US money losing stock?

Very simple really.

Pandora is part of the internet, which creates something called lulz.

Lulz, it would appear, are worth a great deal.

Chinese lumber creates no lulz.

The reason Pandora's stock, like that of Linkdin has fallen, is because the savvy investors have realized that these two companies, while part of the internet, do NOT create much in the way of lulz.
