Snapchat said to seek to raise as much as USD 4 Billion in IPO

http://gulfnews.com/business/sectors/markets/snapchat-said-to-seek-to-raise-as-much-as-4b-in-ipo-1.1922295
The IPO could value Snapchat at about USD 25 Billion to USD 35 Billion

I really hope that IPO fails, because Snapchat is like a dark smoke bubble.

The last buzzy consumer-tech listing in the US was in November 2015 when Match Group Inc, the online-dating powerhouse that owns Match, OKCupid and Tinder, went public at a valuation of USD 2.9 Billion.

Silicon Valley’s boom? Silicon Valley’s bubble instead!
There is a large dotcom bubble fueled by venture investment funds, investors who are dragging other investors to continue investing until they can sell shares of the company and recover leveraged money, but the last holder of shares is going to lose.

With valuations jumping so high, the USD1 billion club is getting easier and easier to get into. In 2014 alone, 38 different companies entered the USD1 billion club, according to a report from CB Insights. That is more than the three previous years, when only 22 companies made it combined.
