So, what are your predictions for the IPO....
Will it be a day one disaster full of controversy like the FB IPO?
Will the shares rise or fall on day one trading?
Will the shares be up or down following 1 week/month trading?
Any other musings to this stock?
I think that these will be a more reliable long term gain than those in it for a quick win. Having such a simple model that is embedded in society is a good strong foothold for building on. It is just a case of how do you build on it...

I dunno - but I'd have thought it would have made a bit more sense to have at least started to make a profit before going for an IPO...going to be no dividends at a guess, so it's all on the initial killing you can make - if any - whether you buy them or not. I'd guess it will be bought up (mostly by twatterers) and flogged pretty quickly, but I can't see who is going to hold onto it in the long term.

Yeh, returns are definitely going to be based on stock growth and sell rather than dividends. Think that goes with most tech IPOs initially.

Yeah, will be a success, just like FB.

council turbine in wrong place[^]
The wind turbine was installed (at a cost of £48,000) and has generated electricity for nearly two years. And so far, it has produced £5 worth every month! So, at that rate, is only going to take 800 years to break even... 
But the mechanical problems have been fixed now, so it should be generating a lot more now - nearly £9 per month!
Mind you, even if it had been installed in a better location, it would have produced less than £20 a month at best...

Well, the location is completely wrong.
It's out there where people can see it, provoking them to ask questions about it.

Looks like they just had to spend money to reduce their CO2 output. A wind turbine was obviously the first thing that came in mind  So more a prestige object than anything else

The BBC website's quality of English has been going steadily downhill over the last few years.

AFAIK that sort of vertical turbine has never worked well anywhere outside of a CAD program.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

uhm... to be honest.. I generally don't visit General Indian/Chinese Topics. I usually have absolutely no idea what they are talking about there so I'm fine when there is a repost of such a topic here in the lounge

Agree. That shouldn't count as a repost.

I foolishly clicked on your link.
And saw it was a link to a Garfield Video of all things!
I actually used to like Garfield in the papers (My wedding cake had Garfield & Mrs. toppers[^])
but I detest the cartoon series.
So your link remains unwatched

When I played American Football at university we used to have various punishments on the long coach journeys back after a game.
One of these was The Garfield.
Found guilty of doing something wrong during the match or wider day out the miscreant would be stripped naked then pressed face first against the back window of the coach for 5 or 10 minutes.

Consistency!!!
Consistency, I have found, is a good excuse for laziness or stupidity!
Arguably laziness can be a virtue in IT so maybe it's not so bad...
Nonetheless I hate it and rather work with inconsistent people!

You don't like consistency? We might need some specific situations...
