Lol, you made my day sir! Thank you.
Delicious cupcakes on me, everyone.
I bought 102,000 of them from some bakery in the UK, for 75% off, and the owner was not happy to see me when I picked them up.
Many business owners saw what went down and have basically said 'Wankin' F**kin' Groupon.'
Dig in.
I thought a "groupon" was something you could expect if a bunch of TSA agents was heading for you?
No joke. Just noting that all of the recent IPOs have been Fukushima-level toxic (including some of the government-sponsored retreads).
The bastard child of one Darth Blankfein.
Oops. Better become an Obama campaign contributor rather soon.

Groupon is headed to faillure, the reason is simple, it has way to many competitors now. It is very simple to copy the groupon concept.

Fixed it for ya!
The angle of the chart dangle is directly proportional to the attractiveness of the group-on menage a trois.
Got some uglies in this orgy.

TRIVIA Question: what are the first 4 words in the song "set fire to the rain"??
a business model based on customer email spamming remains unviable.

"The government sponsored retreads" - You owe me my fresh coffee and a dry clean bill.
Still laughing so Hard the others think Im on Meds. - fuck that is ging to go into my Sarc/ vocab
Huh, I thought it was a polygamist's female hygienic sanitary product.
But don't worry, she'll make it up on volume..

What an idiot. Why would she sell any cupcakes at a loss, even at a 50% discount she could of ended up being profitable. Some people these days have no brain.
BTW did the $40 original price tag on a dozen cupcakes suprise anyone else?
she had a sugar high !
If only she had watched these videos...

90% discount this black friday
We were just kidding on the whole IPO thingy. Sorry bout that.
maybe goog can buy them when they are half off
"this symbol expires december 31st 2011"
For the benefit of those of us who are not traders, can someone please explain the significance of this?
Like a Coupon haha
I see. Very droll.
Think bankruptcy.
This is my definition of "social justice."
edit: And forget subtle "schadenfreude" I'm giddy watching this thing sink. I'm only sorry that people were able to unload and exit this on day one. Literally makes me sick.
True enough, but I'm not so sure about the social justice tag. Their employees are heading for social security.
by "people", I assume you mean the banks that manufactured a supply shortage and were able to force the price higher at the open?
Yes. Also lets not forget the principles who were looking for an ejection seat since they realized they had no business model. Everyone involved, including the flippers and even the retail investors who get their daily dose of CNBC advice, knew it was a quick pump and dump with no value. I'm actually surprised at the zeal with which people pretend to be surprised about this.
I don't think "Scahdenfreude" carries a particular quanitification of the level of joy in other people's suffering. I think you could be giddy with schadenfreude. I know I often am.

How do you say Shadenfreude in Austrian? Let's ask POTUS.
He doesn't speak Austrian. But he does speak Double Dutch.
New offer: Buy 2 shares of GRPN for the price of 1!!
SSSSSSave!
Buy 2 packs of Kools and get a share of GRPN
This is because DSK sold a huge number of shares once he realized the company is actually NOT named Grope On.
brilliant...thanks
That's Hermain Cain's new startup for after his bid fails next Nov.
NEIN NEIN NEIN!
Merkel is a Cain fan?!
if only there was a company named Coerced Cocksucking
How many groupon coupons for groupon stock does it take to get back to the IPO?
negative 5 Billion Groupons (market cap is that much higher than real value)
The people that hyped this ...have made their money...now its time for you to lose yours....this is the IPO market now...insiders win...New York Bankers win....you lose...
And people still keep playing and wonder why their investments are stuck in neutral. Sooner or later, people will stop playing.
They will be in front of CONgress first thing Monday, so the little investor loses twice.
"the Amerikan people need Groupon in these tough times, that is why we are asking for a $30 billion bailout"
$17.40? For like, 1 share? How many shares are there in circulation? 10?
Groupon sounds like a sex act for swingers. If it were , I'm sure this chart would be inverted.
In other word's, a clusterfuck ?
Rename the company Groupengropen. Couldn't hurt the share price.
The movie your avatar was in rocked.
I know.
I just checked the stock price prior to coming back to this site, and laughed out loud here at work.
Looks like my 401k over 10 yrs.
Group on for a big warm hug. That is probably all any Groupon holder can hope for. Next will be a "kick you while you are down".
Must have missed a coupon payment.
Looks like a good stock FOR ME TO POOP ON
GroupOFF
Robo won't be having a happy thanksgiving over this turkey
bwa ha ha ha ha ha
Groupon offer: M.F. Global account 70% OFF
Similarly available in your city - soon.
"Corzine takes CEO position at Groupon and will diversify the company into the euro financial centers"- Rueters
"Groupon Changes Name to Poopon." Ceo Corzine states the name change to better reflect the position of the company.- AP
"Groupon Offers Coupons up to 75% off for Shares". GP press release.
"Groupon Takes back donated turkey, named Liberty, from WHite House"- WH press release. Obama didn't mind because he prefers pig meat with alot of lipstick.
Slopes should be very good for skiing this year. Just be very careful for the rocky bottom.

Non-subscription GRPN IPO 'day' buyers & GRPN employees with frozen stock are steaming mad right now.
Oh, sorry, I don't have any joke.
What was that about low bearing fruit?

Low Hanging Fruit, JA
Ya...'twas a mixed metaphor on 2.0 tech stocks. Nevermind.
Haha, that company will be bankrupt next. Yes screw over all your employees, that's a good way to keep top talent. Once you do something like that even the people that are the top talent assume you are fucking them over too since you don't care about the lower levels and they will bounce once their stock vests.
They should have gotten explicit government support like GM so this wouldn't happen........
Sing it "Groupon....dot com"
Po down Panky, Po down!
GROPING
Morgan Stanley down 20% in a week for leading the scam IPO.
Karma is a BITCH.
Over/under on GRPN hitting the pink sheets:12 months. I will take the under.
That's going to be a crowded trade.
You seen the premium's on even 1 month puts on that bitch? It's ridiculously crowded already. Has been since the IPO. I got a few on the ramp up but damn, not as cheap as BAC was or JEF.
<=== yes
<=== no

is tyler bluffing?
Sometimes, a picture (graph) is indeed worth a thousand wordz! :>D
The karma would be better if MS collapsed.
I almost feel guilty for never using their service.
So today is a bad day to buy a turkey?
Insert [HAW HAW] here.
Congress sold their friends and family shares obviously
Dr Schadendraud says:
Thank you. When I saw the stock chart, I thought to myself I need to see Bonzai's chart to get a true picture of future value.
We are already down in the churn zone. ;-)
