It will be interesting to see how the IPO is priced.
Yup. I generally avoid IPOs out of the gate and wait for them to settle down. This year I certainly didn't miss anything, yet. Don't get me started about Facebook. Short answer: no way, not me.

Anyway, this one is really interesting. One, I know a bit about the biz cause one of our best friends is making an absolute mint churning out stock photos in his state of the art studio, day in, day out. Major productions, I tell you. Almost like a movie set. Amazing kaching.

Two, I have friends in photo agencies in Europe, contracted to Getty. They hate every second of it. Cause they know Shutterstock has a better business model.

Yeah, this one could be fun.

You saw this bleeding red ink loser, coat tail wannabe Shutterstock IPO rider coming, did you not?

Is Getty Images looking to go public, again? - GeekWire

Gonna make for even a better short than FB, methinks.
