This would be a kind-of-astoundingly-to-me positive valuation for Uber. If they can get it, they'll have proved a lot of the haters (like me) wrong over the last few years.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoNo, that won't prove the haters wrong. It will prove the haters wrong if Uber can not only IPO but not crater thereafter.
- aetherson 8y agoI mean. If they briefly touch $120B at 10am on their opening day and then sanity prevails and they close trading at $20B, sure, I reserve the right to crow about how I was an Uber skeptic before Uber skepticism was cool. But if they spend a few weeks at $120B and then cool off to $90B, or even $60B, then I should and will eat that crow.
- calyth2018 8y agoWhy should you eat crow? Opening weeks of an IPO is usually a frenzy until rationality returns, no?
- praneshp 8y agoBecause aetherson's definition of sanity is 20B. If the stock is 60b after 6 months, then crow eating is not totally unfair.
- Zephyr314 8y agoGeneral employee lockup [1] ends at 6 months usually. A tank right before/at that time could signal what the insiders think and the long term prospects in general.
