PayPal Wants To Go Public

from the now-might-not-be-the-best-time dept

All the news about the stock market has been about how badly it's been doing (especially in the tech sector), so it's a huge surprise that PayPal filed for an IPO. Well.. I hope they do well.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    do they deserve to do well?

    I agree that it would probably be a good sign overall, if they do well... but I wonder if they really deserve to do well. It would probably help if they were profitable (which, they're not). It's not clear what it will take for them to become profitable... So, chances are it won't do well. I bet that Google will watch this IPO carefully. If it does do well, expect a number of other tech companies to jump into the IPO fray.
