  Congratulations to Uber, the Worst Performing IPO in U.S. Stock Market History

  Posted by bBerman81 263 Rider in Rideshare News (0 comments )

  Fun article.Rideshare unicorn Uber doesn’t do anything small. When it was in the game of raising money, it raised close to $25 billion. When it loses that money—and it does every single quarter—it loses it at astronomical burn rates. It finally debuted on the New York Stock Exchange today, in the middle of international trade uncertainty and following a massive, international strike by its own drivers, how’d it do?According to University of Florida professor Jay Ritter, Uber’s 7.62 percent decline since hitting the NYSE makes it “bigger than first day dollar losses ...

  Uber will offer $200 helicopter flights in New York City this summer

  Posted by chipsavoy 138 in Rideshare News (7 comments )

  I remembered Uber doing something like this before but never saw it on the app. Now they are doing it again but reserving it for only their top rewards users. I hope they open it up to everyone one day, I obviously wouldn't do this a lot but trying it once with a small group of friends would be awesome!https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2019/06/06/uber-copter-uber-offer-200-helicopter-rides-new-york-city/1371975001/
