pardon the profanity, but Howard is angry and frustrated at our frozen capital markets and wants to see Twitter set an example

From what I understand, Lindzon runs StockTwits.com, which tracks stock mentions on Twitter that use semantic $TKR codes. As Twitter continues to mature away from "what I'm having for lunch" and into more of an opinion broadcast channel, I find his site becoming increasingly useful.

Now is the perfect time for their IPO.  At a time when ‘Too Big to Fail’ is the myth, Twitter is just the right size for an IPO.  It’s ‘Too Small to Fail’ as an IPO and public company.  It has something more important than profits for the moment, believe it or not….demand and a clean balance sheet.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howardlindzon.com/?p=4032"><P>While we wait for Facebook to do an IPO, one that will NEVER come, it’s time for some Venture Capitalist’s and founders with balls to take some real chances and lead change.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howardlindzon.com/?p=4032"><P>Not a BIG, FLASHY IPO.  Something small, one without a dumbass Wall Street bank.  A small IPO will give Twitter flexibility as a public company.  My new bank ‘Social Leverage’ will be happy to do organize it for some underwriting warrants.  I won’t sell them for 2 years either. How’s that. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/64067A2C-EB25-493B-ADF2-100D7EB9ACCB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
