I agree. I should have been a little more clear with my last post. I've been expecting lower revenue guidance or simply a missed earnings report and I believe the market has too, judging by the way the stock has been trading for the past 6 weeks. The reason I thought the note was good or better than expected was that they weren't forecasting a much larger loss on the earnings side of things. Not great but decent, IMO.

It was a good deal for Living Social, at the time. Ticket Monster Proves to Be One for Groupon -- Market Talk DOW JONES & COMPANY, INC. 9:31 AM ET 4/20/15 9:31 EDT - Groupon(GRPN) selling a controlling stake in its South Korean asset, Ticket Monster, is a coup for shareholders, who will retain a minority stake in an asset now worth $782M. The Chicago-based company bought Ticket Monster just over a year ago for $260M, and proceeds from the divestiture will help fund a $300M stock buyback. The deal also underscores the strong position Ticket Monster has in one of the world's most-competitive mobile commerce markets. Ticket Monster's rival, No. 1-ranked Coupang, has among its investors Sequoia Partners, BlackRock (BLK) and Bill Ackman. GRPN opened up 4.4% at $7.52. (jonathan.cheng@wsj.com)
