- stormqloud 13y agoAnybody that wants to learn about shorting a stock and what valuation means, this is a great list of companies to start. In 5 years the valuation of this entire list will be 10% of it's current value. It used to be called a pump and dump and it was something that legitimate firms didn;t participate in. Nowadays making up overly positive press releases to manipulate people into thinking a stock is going somewhere (beyond off the brokers balance sheet) is called "social media". The only people that make money are the VC, wall street and the others that get the inside information and the IPO at a decent price. Widows, children and people reading this get screwed. Welcome to the new economy. Many techies don;t realize they are just cheerleaders to a scam. Dropbox worth $10 billion? Seriously that's funny. The stock brokers tell us it has value "in the future" and tech people dont; understand how hard it really is to make a profit.
- jasondc 13y ago10% of these companies are from Y Combinator: Stripe, Airbnb, and Dropbox (out of 30 total)
- sdm 13y agoWhat? No Hootsuite? I'm sure they are missing a lot of others as well...
