    Yep a messaging app is now a publicly traded company...yes an app....a texting app where you can buy stickers and play games is worth $9,000,000,000.....

    $9,000,000,000....yes that's with a B if anyone has a problem figuring how many zeros there are in that number.....

    And this is the largest tech ipo of 2016....

    How they consider this a tech ipo is beyond me...

    "Stickers are a main source of revenue, contributing to more than $270 million in sales. "Stick packs" cost between $2 to $3 for a set of one or two dozen."

    What a crazy business model. I'm still trying to wrap my head around on how goofy the whole thing is.

    Hey, maybe Twitter should start selling stickers. It could be their saving grace. :D
