Overstock To IPO
from the no,-really? dept
Apparently, because PayPal's stock price hasn't dropped enough, yet another dot com is going to test the public waters. Overstock.com, the company most famous for telling Amazon.com that they didn't want their damn partnership, has filed to go public. Of course, the company has been successful in this time of recession, because it's been able to buy out the inventory of failed dot coms. So, maybe it is the one stock that should go public. Of course, now that we find out that whole "recession" thing was just a lie, maybe they shouldn't.
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.
