She has also brought KQED Science to new platforms such as Reddit’s Ask Me Anything series. Prior to joining KQED Science, Amanda spent seven years as an engagement producer with Forum, KQED’s daily live call-in show. She got her start in radio at KALW's weekly call in show, City Visions, before going on to an internship and stint at NPR's Talk of the Nation.\r\n\r\nPrior to journalism, Amanda taught English at Lowell High School. She's a native of Petaluma and currently lives under the \"South San Francisco the Industrial City\" sign in South City. She believes that engagement is vital to news’s future and that good journalism listens as much as it asks questions.",

(Yes, some of this shopping is online, but maybe people are jumping for joy over the great deals while they click, thereby burning some calories.) About 140 million of us will shop this 4-day weekend: 70 percent are shopping today, no surprise, and a good chunk of people will be doing retail therapy tomorrow and Sunday as well — football games be damned. The NRF expects holiday retail sales to \u003ca href=\"http://www.nrf.com/modules.php?name=News&op=viewlive&sp_id=1674\">increase\u003c/a> by 3.9 percent in 2013 to $602.1 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, if you’re interested in better shopping, there’s an app for that. The Associated Press’ Joseph Pisani tested more than a dozen apps and winnowed down his list. His recommendations are for big retailers vs. single boutiques or mom-and-pop shops. They’re free, and can save you money and time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RetailMeNot (for Android, iPhone)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This app lets you search for coupons from your favorite stores, so you can instantly save 10 percent, 20 percent or even more on a single item or your entire shopping cart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can scroll through the list of hot deals on the home page or search for a specific store. You can add your favorite stores to a list to see the deals more quickly. The app uses the phone’s location information to narrow the deals to the ones near you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not saying these apps are problem-free. At Toys R Us, the cashier wasn’t able to scan a 15 percent off coupon. RetailMeNot says many retailers have outdated scanners, but most will honor the discount anyway. That happened at Toys R Us after the cashier called for a manager. Getting the discount took longer than expected, and some people in line behind gave me bad looks. But the deal was worth it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The app lets you see both in-store and online deals. After walking into a Gap retail store, I found a coupon that works only online. So I left and went to Gap’s website. RetailMeNot’s 35 percent off coupon code saved me $20.26 on a $57.89 purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you create an account, you can browse for deals on RetailMeNot’s website. Any coupons you save on the website will show up on the app. They will delete when they expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One annoyance: According to RetailMeNot, about a third of the coupons are uploaded by users. Employees go through them to make sure that they work, but some bad ones get through. About a month ago, I went to Gap with a coupon that didn’t have an expiration date. But after the cashier called a manager, I was told it expired a week earlier. RetailMeNot says such problems are rare.

Jerry Brown announced the passing of Prop. 30 in November of 2012. (Randy Pench/Sacramento Bee/MCT via Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sacramento is flush with cash. That’s no typo – for the first time since the end of the dot-com boom, the Legislative Analyst’s Office is projecting multibillion dollar cash surpluses over the coming fiscal years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAO’s report on California’s fiscal outlook serves as an unofficial start to next year’s budget cycle, which will kick off in early January when Gov. Jerry Brown unveils his proposed state budget. The LAO predicts Brown and lawmakers will have a lot of money to work with: a projected $2.4 billion surplus next year, and another $3.2 billion in extra revenue in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where did the extra money come from? Analyst Mac Taylor credited three factors: “We finally have an economic recovery — the best way to grow yourself out of problems,” he said. “We had [tax measure] Proposition 30, which has obviously provided relief and revenues. …And all of the efforts the legislature took during the bad years, of slowing the growth in many programs, and in some cases taking reductions in programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes this year’s relatively conservative state budget, which Brown built on cautious tax estimates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Taylor is telling lawmakers not to get too excited about the additional income. The LAO’s report warns things can always turn south quickly, so the office is recommending the legislature use the surplus to build up a rainy day fund and pay down California’s debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/121136432\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Brown administration agrees with the restrained approach. Spokesman H.D. Palmer pointed out just 1 percent of state residents pay 40 percent of California’s income tax revenue. “And for that narrow band of taxpayers, most of their income doesn’t come from salaries and wages,” he said. “It comes from things like capital gains. Which are the most volatile and difficult-to-forecast revenues that we have in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put it another way, if the market goes south again, California would quickly be in the red.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many rank-and-file Democrats were frustrated that this year’s budget didn’t do more to restore the deep cuts lawmakers instituted during the recession. And if the surplus keeps growing, you can bet pressure will mount to hike spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg’s response to the LAO hints at that. He agreed with Brown and the LAO’s cautious approach, saying, “There is ample room to pay down debt, build a healthy reserve to hedge against an economic downturn, address long-term pension and health obligations,” but the Democrat said there’s also money to “expand worthy programs for people and our economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the LAO report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_13506\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/185892105/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s no typo – for the first time since the end of the dot-com boom, the Legislative Analyst’s Office is projecting multibillion dollar cash surpluses over the coming fiscal years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAO’s report on California’s fiscal outlook serves as an unofficial start to next year’s budget cycle, which will kick off in early January when Gov. Jerry Brown unveils his proposed state budget. The LAO predicts Brown and lawmakers will have a lot of money to work with: a projected $2.4 billion surplus next year, and another $3.2 billion in extra revenue in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where did the extra money come from? Analyst Mac Taylor credited three factors: “We finally have an economic recovery — the best way to grow yourself out of problems,” he said. “We had [tax measure] Proposition 30, which has obviously provided relief and revenues. …And all of the efforts the legislature took during the bad years, of slowing the growth in many programs, and in some cases taking reductions in programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes this year’s relatively conservative state budget, which Brown built on cautious tax estimates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Taylor is telling lawmakers not to get too excited about the additional income. The LAO’s report warns things can always turn south quickly, so the office is recommending the legislature use the surplus to build up a rainy day fund and pay down California’s debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Spokesman H.D. Palmer pointed out just 1 percent of state residents pay 40 percent of California’s income tax revenue. “And for that narrow band of taxpayers, most of their income doesn’t come from salaries and wages,” he said. “It comes from things like capital gains. Which are the most volatile and difficult-to-forecast revenues that we have in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put it another way, if the market goes south again, California would quickly be in the red.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many rank-and-file Democrats were frustrated that this year’s budget didn’t do more to restore the deep cuts lawmakers instituted during the recession. And if the surplus keeps growing, you can bet pressure will mount to hike spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg’s response to the LAO hints at that. He agreed with Brown and the LAO’s cautious approach, saying, “There is ample room to pay down debt, build a healthy reserve to hedge against an economic downturn, address long-term pension and health obligations,” but the Democrat said there’s also money to “expand worthy programs for people and our economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the LAO report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_13506\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/185892105/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Here’s a brief list of reasons landlords say they’re not responsible for the current rental housing crunch. The quotes below are from KQED’s “Forum” last Friday: \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201311080900\" target=\"_blank\">Evictions on the Rise in San Francisco\u003c/a>. You can listen to the show in its entirety by \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201311080900\" target=\"_blank\">clicking here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Not All Landlords Are Created Equal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “Forum” hour featured lots of complaints about big real-estate firms and corporate-style landlords raising rents and evicting tenants. But the Bay Area has plenty of small landlords who have a completely different way of doing business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One property owner, referred to only as “Jeanne” at her request, said she was a “mom-and-pop landlord” running a business “not any different than owning a bakery.” Jeanne’s family has been in San Francisco “for over a hundred years,” and her mother bought a building 40 years ago. “That’s what supported our family. We are not part of the affluent class. Now that I have a family, I cannot afford to move out of the one-bedroom apartment in this building.” Jeanne said her family has developed relationships with their tenants, helping to take care of them as they age.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘We are not part of the affluent class. Now that I have a family, I cannot afford to move out of my one-bedroom apartment.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Landlords Get Screwed, Too\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chances are that at some point, your landlord has suffered at the hands of bad tenants or life circumstances. Mike in San Francisco called in during the show to share the story of what sounds like a generous landlord who found himself needing money because of health problems:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>My wife’s uncle had two tenants in a building in the Marina and for 30 plus years he never raised the rent. He was a wonderful landlord. And he got dementia and needed to go into assisted care and the family needed to sell the building and what I don’t understand is — the two tenants who are in there — the longer you stay, you earn basically equity in the building. Because whoever wants to buy that building has to give those two tenants a huge payout in order to get them out of the building or keep them at $300 a month. You know, no matter whether you’re a teacher or whatever your role is in the community, at a certain point there has to be some way to measure the fact that you have been the beneficiary of when you have a great landlord.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As easy as it is to vilify landlords for evicting tenants so that they can sell a property, some landlords may simply need the money. When you consider that possibility, selling to the highest bidder seems more a logical economic decision and less an act of greed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And let’s not forget that just as all landlords are not created equal, neither are tenants. Jeanne praised many of her tenants but added, “We also have tenants who destroy the property, who harass other tenants, who steal and vandalize, and we can’t get them out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. The Rules Have Changed for Many Landlords\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal has changed for some longtime landlords in cities such as San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland, which have approved rent control laws over the years. Sara Shortt, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco, a tenants’ group, said on the show that “landlords know what they’ve gotten into when they buy property, and they know what our laws are and they’ve decided to sign up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not always the case. As Jeanne and other listeners pointed out — many landlords bought their buildings before rent control was on the books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Landlords Have Some Decent Ideas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/priced-out/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s Priced Out\u003c/a> series, many listeners and readers have asked about solutions to the issues of rising rents and evictions, only to be told that under current market conditions, there’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201310311000\" target=\"_blank\">little hope\u003c/a> things will get better soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are some ideas out there. Janan New, executive director of the San Francisco Apartment Association, said there’s a lot San Francisco could learn from New York:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“New York every year does a housing study, and they put out a book of statistics about the market and what rents are, what exists [in terms of] housing that’s available — we should be doing that here. … They have a department of housing and everything is run through there. We’re fragmentized here, where we have several different departments in housing — nobody knows what the other department is doing. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“… The other thing that New York has that’s different than San Francisco is their owner-occupied buildings are exempt from rent control. Our owner-occupied buildings were put under rent control in 1991 and they were exempt prior to that. And it worked a lot better. It allowed for flexibility for mom-and-pop owners to cut deals with their tenants, feed their tenants and not be punished for that.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘We created 13,000 jobs last year, and we put 120 new housing units on the market. I don’t think we can continue this way.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. It’s Not All Their Fault\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of causes for the lack of housing, especially affordable housing, in the Bay Area: the economy, the physical landscape and \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/12/local/la-me-affordable-housing-20120813\" target=\"_blank\">the loss of redevelopment mone\u003c/a>y that allowed cities to help get more housing built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janan New of the San Francisco Apartment Association noted there’s a basic imbalance between what’s happening in the city’s labor market and what’s happening in the housing market:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We created basically 13,000 jobs last year” said New, “and we put 120 new housing units on the market. So I don’t think we can continue this way without further cannibalization of the rental housing stock because people want to come here, people are going to continue to come here. And they need a place to live.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In a rare moment of agreement, both New and Sara Shortt, of the Housing Rights Committee, acknowledged that one must look at the “broader context” of the housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Shortt:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We also have the hoarding issue… We also have people who have \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied-%C3%A0-terre\" target=\"_blank\">pied-à-terres\u003c/a> in the city now, it’s their second, maybe third rental unit that they have, or they have it on top of a home ownership unit. We have people who are doing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Airbnb\u003c/a> thing where they are holding the units off the market and they’re renting them out just as vacation rentals… We’re seeing more and more of those types of things.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

You know, no matter whether you’re a teacher or whatever your role is in the community, at a certain point there has to be some way to measure the fact that you have been the beneficiary of when you have a great landlord.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As easy as it is to vilify landlords for evicting tenants so that they can sell a property, some landlords may simply need the money. When you consider that possibility, selling to the highest bidder seems more a logical economic decision and less an act of greed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And let’s not forget that just as all landlords are not created equal, neither are tenants. Jeanne praised many of her tenants but added, “We also have tenants who destroy the property, who harass other tenants, who steal and vandalize, and we can’t get them out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. The Rules Have Changed for Many Landlords\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal has changed for some longtime landlords in cities such as San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland, which have approved rent control laws over the years. Sara Shortt, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco, a tenants’ group, said on the show that “landlords know what they’ve gotten into when they buy property, and they know what our laws are and they’ve decided to sign up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not always the case. As Jeanne and other listeners pointed out — many landlords bought their buildings before rent control was on the books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Landlords Have Some Decent Ideas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/priced-out/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s Priced Out\u003c/a> series, many listeners and readers have asked about solutions to the issues of rising rents and evictions, only to be told that under current market conditions, there’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201310311000\" target=\"_blank\">little hope\u003c/a> things will get better soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are some ideas out there. Janan New, executive director of the San Francisco Apartment Association, said there’s a lot San Francisco could learn from New York:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“New York every year does a housing study, and they put out a book of statistics about the market and what rents are, what exists [in terms of] housing that’s available — we should be doing that here. … They have a department of housing and everything is run through there. We’re fragmentized here, where we have several different departments in housing — nobody knows what the other department is doing. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“… The other thing that New York has that’s different than San Francisco is their owner-occupied buildings are exempt from rent control. Our owner-occupied buildings were put under rent control in 1991 and they were exempt prior to that. And it worked a lot better. It allowed for flexibility for mom-and-pop owners to cut deals with their tenants, feed their tenants and not be punished for that.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘We created 13,000 jobs last year, and we put 120 new housing units on the market. I don’t think we can continue this way.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. It’s Not All Their Fault\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of causes for the lack of housing, especially affordable housing, in the Bay Area: the economy, the physical landscape and \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/12/local/la-me-affordable-housing-20120813\" target=\"_blank\">the loss of redevelopment mone\u003c/a>y that allowed cities to help get more housing built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janan New of the San Francisco Apartment Association noted there’s a basic imbalance between what’s happening in the city’s labor market and what’s happening in the housing market:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We created basically 13,000 jobs last year” said New, “and we put 120 new housing units on the market. So I don’t think we can continue this way without further cannibalization of the rental housing stock because people want to come here, people are going to continue to come here. And they need a place to live.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In a rare moment of agreement, both New and Sara Shortt, of the Housing Rights Committee, acknowledged that one must look at the “broader context” of the housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, it does allow local governments to impose a variety of requirements on such property owners, which can include providing tenant relocation assistance, giving specific notice periods and having deed restrictions on future use of the property. For example, a city could require an owner who re-rents “Ellised” property within a certain period of time to first offer it to any displaced former tenants, at the original rental rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Local impact\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is little comprehensive data on Ellis Act evictions statewide. But in cities like San Francisco, with high rents and strict local rent control laws, Ellis Act evictions often go up during periods when home sales increase. That was the case during the dot-com boom that ended in 2000 and again during the housing bubble that peaked in 2005. Ellis Act evictions are up again now as the city’s real estate market recovers from the recession and as the tech boom spurs demand for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chart below, by San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://dangrover.com/about\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Grover\u003c/a>, shows Ellis Act evictions in the city since 1998, comparing rates with all no-fault evictions (including Ellis but also those due to capital improvements, demolition, owner move-in or substantial rehabilitation) during the same period.

It required that landlords who sought to exit the rental market first obtain a permit that could only be issued if a strict set of conditions were met. Among them, landlords were required to prove that the unit in question was not occupied by a person of low or moderate income and to demonstrate that the unit’s removal from the rental market would not adversely affect the city’s housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerome Nash, a 17-year-old student whose mother had bought him a $260,000 rental property in Santa Monica before the ordinance was adopted, sought to get out of the rental business and demolish the building. He initially applied for a permit to do so, but ended up suing the city to circumvent the process.

But in cities like San Francisco, with high rents and strict local rent control laws, Ellis Act evictions often go up during periods when home sales increase. That was the case during the dot-com boom that ended in 2000 and again during the housing bubble that peaked in 2005. Ellis Act evictions are up again now as the city’s real estate market recovers from the recession and as the tech boom spurs demand for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chart below, by San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://dangrover.com/about\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Grover\u003c/a>, shows Ellis Act evictions in the city since 1998, comparing rates with all no-fault evictions (including Ellis but also those due to capital improvements, demolition, owner move-in or substantial rehabilitation) during the same period. The chart also shows all for-cause evictions, in which tenants violated rental agreements. The chart (also available in \u003ca href=\"http://dangrover.github.io/sf-ellis-evictions/\" target=\"_blank\">a larger version\u003c/a>) is overlaid with San Francisco median home price rates.

It required that landlords who sought to exit the rental market first obtain a permit that could only be issued if a strict set of conditions were met. Among them, landlords were required to prove that the unit in question was not occupied by a person of low or moderate income and to demonstrate that the unit’s removal from the rental market would not adversely affect the city’s housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerome Nash, a 17-year-old student whose mother had bought him a $260,000 rental property in Santa Monica before the ordinance was adopted, sought to get out of the rental business and demolish the building.

The microblogging company with dreams of becoming a profitable global advertising platform launched its IPO today. The stock opened at $45, about 80 percent above the initial offering price set just last night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's coverage from the Wall Street Journal: \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2013/11/07/live-blogging-twitters-ipo/?mod=yahoo_hs\" target=\"_blank\">Live Blogging Twitter's IPO\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nHere's a reminder, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/business/2013/11/twitter-goes-public/\" target=\"_blank\">via Wired's Ryan Tate\u003c/a>, that despite what I'll call the crazy rise in the stock, Twitter hasn't conquered the world yet:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Despite all the froth around Twitter’s IPO, the company isn’t all that big, with a valuation, at the moment, of around $31.5 billion. Rival Facebook clocks in at around $120 billion, while an icon of the last tech boom, Amazon, is worth $163 billion. Google is at $342 billion. Twitter is closer to being an Intuit or Adobe than the next Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of that difference is down to the fact that Twitter bleeds cash while Facebook gushes profit. After losing $80 million last year, Twitter posted a net loss of $134 million for the first nine months of this year, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It has never been profitable. Facebook, in contrast, grew profits for at least three years to $1 billion before it went public.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And The Atlantic points out that even artsy-crafty Etsy has a take on the IPO:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>The Twitter IPO, in the tender eyes of Etsy \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/ovaCTlC5hC\">http://t.co/ovaCTlC5hC\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— TheAtlanticTech (@TheAtlanticTECH) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/TheAtlanticTECH/statuses/398492970673922048\">November 7, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the latest Associated Press take on the IPO and the opening of trading:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Barbara Ortutay\u003cbr>\nAP Technology Writer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEW YORK — If Twitter's bankers and executives were hoping for a surge on the day of the stock's public debut, they got it. The stock opened at $45.10 a share on its first day of trading, 73 percent above its initial offering price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's gone on pretty flawlessly,\" says JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stock is now trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol \"TWTR.\" It's the most highly anticipated initial public stock offering since Facebook debuted last year. More than an hour into trading, the stock is holding steady. This tight range of trading, Kinahan says, indicates that people \"feel like it was pretty fairly priced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opening price values Twitter Inc. at $31 billion, which puts it in in range of KFC and Pizza Hut owner Yum Brands, tractor and tool maker Deere & Co. and slightly below State Street Corp., a financial services holding company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It clearly shows that demand exceeds the supply of shares,\" says Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter. \"It's impossible to know what the real value is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's shares jumped as high as $50.09 on Thursday morning and were up $19.14, or 73.6 percent, at $45.14 in midday trading amid a broader market decline. Tech stocks were broadly down as well, with Facebook Inc. sliding $1.02, or 2.1 percent, to $48.10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, Twitter gave users the opportunity to ring NYSE's opening bell instead of executives. The users included Sir Patrick Stewart, Captain Jean-Luc Picard in \"Star Trek: The Next Generation\"; Vivienne Harr, a 9-year-old girl who ran a lemonade stand for a year to raise money to end child slavery; and Cheryl Fiandaca of the Boston Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's initial public offering was carefully orchestrated to avoid the glitches and eventual letdown that surrounded Facebook's initial public offering on the Nasdaq 18 months ago. Still, it's the most highly anticipated IPO since its Silicon Valley rival's 2012 debut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In hindsight when you look at this you almost think they left a little too much money on the table,\" says Roger Entner of Recon Analytics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Entner means is that Twitter raised $1.8 billion Wednesday night when it sold 70 million shares at $26 each. Had it priced the stock at $30, for instance, the company would have taken away $2.1 billion. At $35, it would have reaped nearly $2.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At $26 per share, Twitter was valued at more than $18 billion based on its outstanding stock, options and restricted stock expected to be available after the IPO. That already put it above Macy's and Bed Bath & Beyond. Facebook Inc.'s value, meanwhile, stood at $104 billion at the time of its IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter, named after the sound of a chirping bird, got its start 7 years ago, first with Jack Dorsey and then Evan Williams as CEO. Its current chief is Dick Costolo, a former Google executive who once aspired to be a stand-up comedian. On March 21, 2006, Dorsey posted the world's first tweet: \"Just setting up my twttr.\" Noah Glass, who helped create Twitter posted the same words just 10 minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the social network that lets users send short messages in 140-character bursts has attracted world leaders, religious icons and celebrities, along with CEOs, businesses and a slew of marketers and self-promoters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tempering expectations was a big theme in the weeks leading up to Twitter's IPO, but that all but flew out the window with the stock's opening surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Twitter now just has to deliver on all this,\" Entner says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company tried to avoid the trouble that plagued Facebook's high-profile offering. Facebook's public debut was marred by technical glitches on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest ever levied against an exchange. Those problems likely led Twitter to the NYSE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter is also likely hoping for a first-day pop of its shares that eluded Facebook's stock. Facebook's shares closed just 23 cents above their $38 IPO price on their first trading day. They traded below $38 for more than a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, $18 billion is a lofty valuation for Twitter compared with its peers. At its IPO price, Twitter valued at roughly 28 times its projected 2013 revenue —$650 million based on its current growth rate.

The stock opened at $45.10 a share on its first day of trading, 73 percent above its initial offering price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's gone on pretty flawlessly,\" says JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stock is now trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol \"TWTR.\" It's the most highly anticipated initial public stock offering since Facebook debuted last year. More than an hour into trading, the stock is holding steady. This tight range of trading, Kinahan says, indicates that people \"feel like it was pretty fairly priced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opening price values Twitter Inc. at $31 billion, which puts it in in range of KFC and Pizza Hut owner Yum Brands, tractor and tool maker Deere & Co. and slightly below State Street Corp., a financial services holding company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It clearly shows that demand exceeds the supply of shares,\" says Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter. \"It's impossible to know what the real value is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's shares jumped as high as $50.09 on Thursday morning and were up $19.14, or 73.6 percent, at $45.14 in midday trading amid a broader market decline. Tech stocks were broadly down as well, with Facebook Inc. sliding $1.02, or 2.1 percent, to $48.10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, Twitter gave users the opportunity to ring NYSE's opening bell instead of executives. The users included Sir Patrick Stewart, Captain Jean-Luc Picard in \"Star Trek: The Next Generation\"; Vivienne Harr, a 9-year-old girl who ran a lemonade stand for a year to raise money to end child slavery; and Cheryl Fiandaca of the Boston Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's initial public offering was carefully orchestrated to avoid the glitches and eventual letdown that surrounded Facebook's initial public offering on the Nasdaq 18 months ago. Still, it's the most highly anticipated IPO since its Silicon Valley rival's 2012 debut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In hindsight when you look at this you almost think they left a little too much money on the table,\" says Roger Entner of Recon Analytics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Entner means is that Twitter raised $1.8 billion Wednesday night when it sold 70 million shares at $26 each. Had it priced the stock at $30, for instance, the company would have taken away $2.1 billion. At $35, it would have reaped nearly $2.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At $26 per share, Twitter was valued at more than $18 billion based on its outstanding stock, options and restricted stock expected to be available after the IPO. That already put it above Macy's and Bed Bath & Beyond. Facebook Inc.'s value, meanwhile, stood at $104 billion at the time of its IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter, named after the sound of a chirping bird, got its start 7 years ago, first with Jack Dorsey and then Evan Williams as CEO. Its current chief is Dick Costolo, a former Google executive who once aspired to be a stand-up comedian. On March 21, 2006, Dorsey posted the world's first tweet: \"Just setting up my twttr.\" Noah Glass, who helped create Twitter posted the same words just 10 minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the social network that lets users send short messages in 140-character bursts has attracted world leaders, religious icons and celebrities, along with CEOs, businesses and a slew of marketers and self-promoters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tempering expectations was a big theme in the weeks leading up to Twitter's IPO, but that all but flew out the window with the stock's opening surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Twitter now just has to deliver on all this,\" Entner says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company tried to avoid the trouble that plagued Facebook's high-profile offering. Facebook's public debut was marred by technical glitches on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest ever levied against an exchange. Those problems likely led Twitter to the NYSE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter is also likely hoping for a first-day pop of its shares that eluded Facebook's stock. Facebook's shares closed just 23 cents above their $38 IPO price on their first trading day. They traded below $38 for more than a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, $18 billion is a lofty valuation for Twitter compared with its peers. At its IPO price, Twitter valued at roughly 28 times its projected 2013 revenue —$650 million based on its current growth rate. In comparison, Facebook trades at about 16 times its projected 2013 revenue, according to analyst forecasts from FactSet. Google Inc. meanwhile, is trading at about 7 times its net revenue, the figure Wall Street follows that excludes ad commissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research firm Outsell Inc. puts Twitter's fundamental value at about half of the IPO price, says analyst Ken Doctor. That figure is based on factors such as revenue and revenue growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's not unusual,\" Doctor says. \"Especially for tech companies. You are betting on a big future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Twitter's biggest challenges as a newly public company will be to generate more revenue outside the U.S. More than three-quarters of Twitter's 232 million users are outside the U.S. But only 26 percent of Twitter's revenue comes from abroad.
