Anybody that wants to learn about shorting a stock and what valuation means, this is a great list of companies to start.<p>In 5 years the valuation of this entire list will be 10% of it&#x27;s current value.<p>It used to be called a pump and dump and it was something that legitimate firms didn;t participate in.<p>Nowadays making up overly positive press releases to manipulate people into thinking a stock is going somewhere (beyond off the brokers balance sheet) is called &quot;social media&quot;.<p>The only people that make money are the VC, wall street and the others that get the inside information and the IPO at a decent price.<p>Widows, children and people reading this get screwed.<p>Welcome to the new economy.<p>Many techies don;t realize they are just cheerleaders to a scam.<p>Dropbox worth $10 billion? Seriously that&#x27;s funny. The stock brokers tell us it has value &quot;in the future&quot; and tech people dont; understand how hard it really is to make a profit.

10% of these companies are from Y Combinator: Stripe, Airbnb, and Dropbox (out of 30 total)

About 2&#x2F;3 have founder CEOs, and they are mainly at the top of the list.

What? No Hootsuite? I&#x27;m sure they are missing a lot of others as well...
