Do y'all really think UBER is worth 41B?

[TRFG]

Do they own any of the vehicles?

Nope, Uber is sorta like the middle man like the guy at the airport that finds you a taxi and guarantees a rate

I mean if I had a business model that got investors to pay me to give away $2 for every $1 I take in I'd see hella growth

Its not wat u make... its wat u pay ur shareholders

There's plenty of shytty businesses that make no money and will never make any money. They are usually valued rightfully so. Obviously investors see tremendous growth potential here. If they're not turning a profit, which is an almost certainty, it is irrelevant. It would be irresponsible to not shell out cash to invest in the growth of the business if you're management at this stage of growth. Top line growth and capturing market share is priority #1 here.

You're free to come up with your own business model breh

I was more referring to his point about assets.

edit: didn't realize it was 200 billion now.

frankly from my perspective they are not done growing until a true competitor steps up, google is the only hopeful imo

Im still pissed I didnt short FB's IPO

That was easy money

Uber is harder to judge, they dont have an established business model. But unless they are makign $2-3B a year in income, naw I dont trust em either

Shorting a tech IPO is easy money?



You're out of your mind. I'd never take that risk. That's how you end up homeless.

Wats the profit lookin like though

Profit has to be incredible. They don't even own the vehicles cats drive.

What you think about the Starbucks expansion (megastore) in Seattle and 5 year plan ?

 

[observe]

so great that new innovative tech start up companies are making more money than these old wealthy, --oil, railroad, fashion, mining, media families

Breh, it's the old & wealthy investing in Uber. Uber is only worth 41B because of venture capitalist overvaluing it for went it choses to go public.

 

[observe]

i work for a app messenger company like uber..they take 20% of our fees so i can see uber taking 25% which isnt that bad especially when youre a independent contractor so it's tax free unless you report it during taxes

I haven't even paid attention to it. What are they doing?

This.

Who do you think benefits when a company IPOs? The early employees. The venture capitalists. The institutions. And the rich institutional clients who have old money to get IPO share access.

New line of upscale Starbucks stores to take coffee to luxurious heights

tarbucks has opened the first in a line of upscale stores pushing some of the rarest types of coffee from around the world, starting with a Willy Wonka-esque roastery and retail behemoth in the Capitol Hill neighborhood — not of the District — but of Seattle.

Soon, though, there may be one near our own Capitol Hill.

The company opened the doors Friday to its first Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room, the flagship location for what executives envision as a chain of at least 100 high-end stores selling only the company’s limited reserve coffee.

is facebook worth $100 billion?

I honestly don't know. From advertising? No. From all of the data, possibly, but I don't know the going rates. My girlfriend did marketing and sales of data for pharmaceuticals in Europe. If you were to apply the same practice granted the information you're accumulating is worth a damn and apply it to every market and every facet of life... I suppose it would be possible. I suppose it's all in how you do it. If you outsource it all and they pay you... idk..

You're watching the Closing Bell on CNBC too?

Nah, just woke up to chirp Uber.

Do they own any of the vehicles?

no, which is a good thing

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

hell no its not worth it

classic to have a crazy inflated IPO to get $ to the premium investors that can get shares before main street then dump them shortly thereafter. i.e Twitter

Starbucks is a good company
