PayPal Dips Below IPO Price
from the nosedive dept
Ed writes "It's now barely one week after PayPal's successful IPO, which had led some to speculate that perhaps the bad times were behind us and the glory days of hot new IPOs were here again. Now, this afternoon, the stock has given back all its initial gains and even momentarily dropped below the $13 IPO price, thanks largely to eBay's increased investment in Billpoint. Last week I predicted it would go down, but this is an even shorter time frame than I expected."
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.

Expected
With all the litigation currently in place against Paypal (yes, I'm one of Paypal's victims), all I am going to say is that anyone who leaves their money in paypal accounts is a fool.
