I'm expecting they'll have a pretty good IPO, but I'm considering going short for that very reason. They're almost a caricature of "evil" startup companies. Peter Thiel's association only makes it worse. Not committed to this thesis though, since it's possible they could be swept up in TINA mania for the next ?? months/years.
- yters 6y agoScott Adams claims evil businesses tend to do the best.
- andreilys 6y agoWhat issue do you take with Thiel? I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call him evil.
- patrickthebold 6y agoWell he _is_ a founder of Palantir.
- randycupertino 6y agoHe secretly funded a lawsuit against gawker which was pretty shady of him.
- emilfihlman 6y ago>He secretly funded a lawsuit against gawker which was pretty shady of him. You can't be serious. In a court of law, Gawker was found to be (extremely) wrong, and outing people ain't cool. It was anything but shady.
- lalos 6y agoThe shady part was strategically structuring the damages for Gawker's insurance to not be eligible and ensure bankruptcy. If I remember correctly (don't quote me on this), they lowered it enough for it not to kick in.
