Did I miss something? I thought Uber was still a long way from being profitable and had no plausible plan for how to become profitable.
Just like Amazon at its IPO.

#23Some notes from watching Uber open: - if it closes below $45(its IPO price) it will be the first time since 2008 that the happened for a major IPO - TD Ameritrade executed more orders in the first 10 minutes of trading than they did for the first 2.5 hours with Lyft. - Uber is 9% of all trading at TD Ameritrade, retail loves this stock, - market is down today, which isn't helping Uber but its probably not much of a f…

#24My primary disappointment with the Uber IPO is that I don't have a larger wad of money to cover a short position.
wow so edgy, can't even short on an IPO there are some CFD markets you can probably take a bearish position with, just fire up the VPN and move some crypto over to them

doesn't matter, made $8,100,000 in a day oh you were worried about the traders and hopeful Uber employees that bet half a decade of their life on a good share price HA HAHAHA. Should really start looking at this from the underwriter and issuer perspective to understand the success story here. Retail buys ticker symbols that have been marketed to them. Everyone else dumps. Company made a ton of money and can do whatev…

Maybe I don't remember it well enough but Amazon's business model seemed a lot more ... tangible than Uber's don't you think?

In the 1997, Amazon's proposition of "Online retailer" was also pretty far fetched. It wasn't obvious that their model was going to make them one of the largest retailers in the world.

#29As an employee you typically don’t want your stock to skyrocket on the IPO. Most that do plummet as early investors sell and the employees (who have a lockup period preventing them from selling) watch their “gains” disappear. In my opinion, it’s better to have an accurately priced stock that grows at a healthy rate.
