Uber IPOing lower than Lyft currently trading ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

$45 a share at an $82.4b valuation. Feels real bad. Desperate to avoid that negative publicity huh? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/09/uber-ipo-pricing.html

Price per share means absolutely nothing.

Did you say the same when Lyft priced themselves in to a downtrend too? Itโ€™s the $82b valuation thatโ€™s hilarious, for the record. The valuation is important and is a factor of the price per unit.

You said โ€œlower than Lyft currently tradingโ€ which implies the price per share is relevant.

Do you know that price per share means nothing? If you have any doubts, ask the Snap engineers making a boatload of money on RSUs on a 11 dollar stock.

How much is considered a boatload of money

Tangential, but does Cruise have private shares or are you awarded GM stock?

Cruise Automation sleitnfo1 OP May 9, 2019

Private

Cruise Automation sleitnfo1 OP May 9, 2019

Share price -> valuation -> $82b -> their 2015 valuation and lower than the numbers theyโ€™ve floated to people the last year. I mostly listed it to trigger the Uber idiots who were flipping out predicting Lyft would be $0 by now.

Groupon Zynga Twitter Dropbox Pinterest Quora had so much hype back in the days. All of them turn out to be disappointing at the end. What matters is if a company could create value in the long term. Without that, it wonโ€™t last.

@op, you should know it's time to give up an idiotic thread when dozens of people from all companies are telling you to take a hike.
