2. The Great Groupon IPO
2. The Great Groupon IPO. Groupon set a Nov. 4th date for its long-anticipated IPO, saying it seeks to raise as much as $621 million, valuing the company at up to $11.4 billion. It's a scaling back of the daily deals company's earlier plan. (And, IMHO, it's still completely bananas.) [WSJ]
