Initially priced at $17, now trading at $24 on first day of trading, valuing the company at $30bn despite never making a profit and making losses of close to $1bn in losses over the last two years.

Peter Jones will be having kittens.

What is going on here?  Can these investors see something I can't?

I remember seeing on 'Tomorrows World' where they demonstrated the new fangled CD (compact disc).
The presenter said it would never catch on because everyone had their favourite music on cassette tapes!
