The second line in my comment says... "My immediate reaction here"
Not every comment on HN needs to be an in depth analysis, especially when my comment is, exactly as I said, a gut reaction to a piece of news. Are the points I made anecdotal? Absolutely, but that doesn't make the meta-commentary any less valid.
- foobarqux 12y agoWhen $111 billion and $11 billion both make sense, neither do.
- logicallee 12y agoI appreciate that, and you did identify it, but when you're talking about valuations, of course it makes the meta-commentary less valid not to mention any numbers at all! you have to talk about numbers, because otherwise what I said applies - i.e. why are they selling stock at 9 cents on the dollar in this round?
- free2rhyme214 12y agoThe only numbers that matter are the number of users and how long they spend using the product. That's it. If those numbers were declining investors wouldn't believe Pinterest could monetize their users like Twitter or Facebook.
