Twitter IPO! It happened! And it was good!
The Twitter IPO happened this morning! Lots and lots of money was made/exchanged/flurried about, and people were happy! Yay!
The bell was rung by Sir Patrick Stewart, Cheryl Fiandaca from the Boston Police department and Vivienne Harr from the charity Make A Stand Lemon-aid (An awesome charity btw, check it out here).
The stocks started selling at $26 a share but soon shot up topping out at $50.09 and closing the day at $44.94, up 73%! Way better than Facebook (although concerning less money) and better than we think some people were expecting.
Twitter is now worth about 25 billion dollars.
That’s a lot of clams, kids.
We imagine the mood at Twitter today was a little like this;
And that’s awesome. Well done Twitter!
