Meh. So wish they would've gone public at that $25B++ valuation. Suffice to say I would be a wealthier man by now if they had......

Good flow chart to advise if you should buy or not.

Thought this was decent enough to post in here. Sure we've had some good friendly debate on Groupon, but they do deserve credit. They may crash and burn, but not even the haters can deny the road they've paved is impressive.

Huge congratulations to the entire team at Groupon.

What you've accomplished in the last three years is nothing short of remarkable.

• You've invented a whole new industry
• You've built one of the fastest-growing companies in history
• You've created more than 10,000 jobs
• You've generated more $1 billion of annual revenue
• You've helped hundreds of thousands of companies get boatloads of new customers
• You've brought deals to tens of millions of consumers
• You've helped inspire a new generation of startups and entrepreneurs
• You've weathered a firestorm of criticism, and
• You've gone public at nearly a $15 billion valuation

In short, you've created something massive and important and dynamic out of nothing. No, you're not done. Yes, there will be tough times ahead. No, it won't be easy. But then nothing worth doing ever is. America needs more companies like you, Groupon. Here's to you and your mind-boggling success!

At 28.12 last I checked.

A most impressive rise and spectacular fall of GroupOn.
