I was making a point regarding tech. Groupon is not a technology stock, it didn't market itself as a tech company. I don't understand how on the one side you say "Groupon doesn't have a listed competitor" but you want to compare it to "unproven '11 IPOs. Look at Pandora, Zipcar, etc.". It all sounds to 1+1=5...

that is no explanation: - investors do not consider Groupon a tech company (it's all over the research reports) - Google, Intel are down marginally (non retail), Apple is up (tech retail). Nasdaq is ONLY 0.07% down. - Falling 14% is intrinsic to the stock, not the market.

if Groupon is big data, the credit card companies and banks are the mother of ALL big data. Hoffman has a conflict of interest when making this flawed statement. Let's see what he says when the lock-up period on his Groupon stock expires in less than 180 days
