Groupon CEO: IPO is a “small milestone”

“Our IPO is a small milestone on our journey…. With our IPO behind us, I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead.”

- Andrew Mason, Groupon CEO 

Today, Groupon’s controversial CEO Andrew Mason said today that the company’s initial public offering was a  ”small milestone”.  Check out his full post on the company’s official blog.

I would say that Mason is selling himself short here – it’s amazing that Groupon has reached this point and he deserves a lot of credit for building one of the fastest-growing companies in history.

I’ll be active on the $GRPN front today – looking to get involved on the long side for a trade.  These tough-to-borrow IPO’s often lead to a short-term pop on the first few trading days, so I’ll be approaching it from that perspective.
