Despite the warning from the Vulture this morning, shares of Box, the massively money-losing tech company that went public this morning, have been popping all day. By this afternoon they were up about 70 percent from the listing price.

My friend the Vulture is a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley. He recently wrote a piece for us and I've been hoping he would do another one. I asked him what he thought of the Box IPO, which is taking place today. Shares last night priced at $14 per share, which will imply a valuation of $1.7 billion for Box — which last July raised a private round at $2.4 billion. Meaning: Box is limping into the public markets. But maybe, at this price, Box is a steal? Vulture doesn't think so. In fact he was brutal — especially about the VCs who are foisting this lump of coal onto the public while also setting up a sweetheart deal for themselves.

All the way back in April—when Uber commanded a $3.5 billion valuation, instead of $18 billion—the New York Times delineated the difference between the current tech boom and the dotcom cycles of yore: "If it is a bubble, one thing that sets it apart is its relative dearth of retail investors."

Alibaba filed for a U.S. IPO that could value the Chinese e-commerce giant more than Amazon or Facebook. CEO Jack Ma warned his employees, whom he calls Aliren (Ali people), about the "unparalleled ruthlessness and pressure," that awaits.

The "pounding" tech stocks have been taking in the public market has forced Silicon Valley to wonder if a startup's ability to make a profit really does matter after all. But don't expect a moment of reckoning.

When it comes to contemporary tech IPOs, profits don't matter. "Many of these tech issuers—particularly the enterprise tech ones—could be profitable if it was somehow required. They'd probably shrivel up and eventually die, but it technically could be done (as opposed to investing into future growth)."

Surprise: launching a public company on the back of a single addictive iPhone game you play on the toilet is proving to not be a stock market powerhouse. The IPO debut of King, which created Candy Crush, is a big disappointment so far.

Dylan Smith co-founded Box, a storage company that's poised to be Silicon Valley's newest public company. Smith will make tens of millions of dollars (at least!)—perhaps enough money to erase his cringe-attack reality show moment from the internet.

Money has no meaning. What is money? Put money in a bowl and drizzle with milk and granola for a tasty healthy treat: the New York Times says Candy Crush's parent company will seek a $7.6 billion IPO.

Yesterday, I ordered both breakfast and dinner from Seamless. I didn't consume lunch since that would have involved leaving my laptop and walking across the street. Because I am disgusting, Grubhub, Inc.—the food delivery monster created after former arch enemies Seamless and GrubHub merged in 2013—is going public.

If there's one truism on the internet, it's that once something is well-liked and popular, it remains in that state forever. This is the rationale behind King Digital, the firm behind Candy Crush Saga and, uh, maybe some other things (?) to announce its IPO.

Late Friday afternoon Twitter released its "secret correspondence" with the Securities and Exchange Commission leading up to the IPO. The previously private documents show that the SEC had a lot of pressing questions about "slowing user growth and whether people were losing interest in viewing ads." But the company didn't always provide satisfactory answers.

Before its impending IPO, King claims that Candy Crush has been installed half a billion times and that more than 150 billion individual games have been played. Here, lie down on the couch and let a few shrinks tell you why it's so addictive.

It's Facebook Twitter IPO day! After months of SEC reviews and roadshows and profiteering, FB TWTR will finally take its place in the Nasdaq NYSE menagerie. Time to start digging up your backyard bullion stash, right? Wrong. For the average guy the Facebook IPO is strictly Like Fave, don't touch.

Twitter tossed out a little update to its pre-IPO disclosures, and the soon-to-be-public company is still far, far away from profitable.

Twitter wants its future stockholders to believe it's the fastest way to a TV viewer's heart (and wallet). But can hashtags and retweets alone show us what's going to be the next Breaking Bad? Doubtful.

Over the weekend, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo was pummeled after his company's public filing exposed the makeup of the board of directors seated atop his $20 billion real-time empire: All white and all male.

The next stock market hysteria is here: Twitter's S-1 filing with the SEC, detailing brand new information about the hot ticket company, is now public. It's a money-loser, but will be the biggest financial craze since Facebook—let's dig in.

Twitter’s impending IPO won’t just create generational wealth for its founders and venture capital investors. It will also make rich people, “who had the wealth and means to get access to the stock,” even richer!
