$45 dollars a share and an 8 billion dollar deficit. Get ready to say goodbye to drivers....Luber is fascinating... Good article...No more cheap rides...LMFAO....

Bullshit.

Uber loses money because they're idiots. Period.

If you sell a product for $100 (in this case, a ride), and your cost is $50 (average payout to driver), that leaves $50 to pay for the costs YOU incur.

Let's say the imputed cost of insurance for the ride is $5. The amortized cost of the app and engineers is probably 5 cents. And the cost of support is less than a penny obviously. That means Uber works on a 45% margin - great for any business.

They lose money because they're idiots. Plain and simple. And the flying cars don't help.

I remember somewhere it was said the cost of insurance for LYft is $3 a ride, supposedly from the prospectus I remember ...

these companies lose money because their constantly investing in new tech without first generating a profit and yeah ride costs are too low in many cases with all the rider promos and giveaways..

The best thing to do with uber stock is to short sale it and make a killing in a few months
lol. I guess you short a lot, right?

I have a little challenge for you:
  • On Monday, short 10 shares of Uber.
  • Within 180 days, come back and tell us how that worked out for you.
    • That's six months -- more than "a few months" for you to "make a killing" -- plenty of time for you to show us what you got!
