American Fools To Be Parted From Their Money Today

Post by Gawd » Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:31 am

Guess what day it is today? It's the day for Groupon's IPO. The most annoying company of the present with a very shady reputation and even shadier accounting numbers wants you to think it is worth US$25 billion and buy it's stock for that price. Never mind that it has never turned a profit, is losing over $200 million every 4 months, and near zero repeat business with rock dropping growth.

I'm going to watch this one with glee.

As opposed to having the power shut down for six hours every day because the government tried to rip off the power providers by not paying them.
