This is the great thing about the IPO, maybe he's right and ACSOI is a great metric from GroupOn, maybe everyone else is right and it's an unprofitable business

This is the great thing about the IPO, maybe he's right and ACSOI is a great metric from GroupOn, maybe everyone else is right and it's an unprofitable business in the future. If he's right and everyone else is wrong I'd use the analogy to decide what to do: Borrow every cent the OP can get his hands on, put some more leverage on it and buy up as much of the IPO as he can. After all he has to get in now before everyone else realizes what a great deal the stock is. However, if you look at the prospectus you'll see that most of the latest round went to cash out early shareholders, and not on marketing.
