Why does Groupon need wall street? They should just offer their shares as groupon purchase.

You're welcome. You can tell you're somewhere you didn't want to be and would never have approved of as a destination if anyone had asked you, when IPO's like Grope-On take place.

You know the jokes are there.

How soon before $5 Groupon Stock shows up on their website! The first 1000 get it for $5, come on down!

 

Am I the only one that thinks "Boiler Room" when I hear Groupon IPO?

Corzine and Goldman plus First boston and the rest used to pump up internet IPOs back in 1998/1999.  All teh worthless dog shit they would trade back and forth on IPO day.  I guess they did not get the mojo on today for Droop On.

Investors who weren't in at the subscribed price and didn't sell on IPO Day will come to know this as GropedOn, lifted wallet, no reacharound included.

Employees who weren't allowed to sell during the 90 day lock up period will refer to it as PoopedOn.

I think the question you have to ask yourself....if you had $18 billion in the bank (making you one of the richest people in the world) would you exchange your cash for this company?

 

And what about the stock market today?  We have had a 20% rally on Europe coming up with a grand plan....all we get is a fuzzy idea to leverage existing funds (which themselves may or may not really be there)....Italian yields looking terrible....Greece is falling apart...IMF and China says Europe is on its own.  Did I miss something????
