The problem with wild success but not insanely wild success is investors that were promised insanely wild feel cheated.
- Retra 10y agoI don't know many people who are actually concerned about that. Sounds like complaining about a win-win situation. More to the point: investors with irrational expectations are not the kind of investors who deserve to have their expectations met.
- user5994461 10y agoI wish we'd consider a multi-billion dollars company as "a wild success".
- JumpCrisscross 10y agoThere isn't some natural law that states "Twitter is with $12bn." It'a valued as such in expectation of future profits. Massive future profits. If it can't sustainably materialise those profits, it loses its valuation (and some of its investors lose their shirts).
- gozur88 10y agoIs it really a multi-billion dollars company, though? Twitter has never made money, and it's not clear they ever will make money. A company that can't make money isn't worth more than its assets minus debt.
- user5994461 10y agoThey have multi billions in revenue. That definitely qualify it as a multi-billion dollars company.
- st3v3r 10y agoWhy do I care about them? They still most likely made more money than I'll see in my lifetime for not doing anything other than having money.
