      You never increase business by going to Groupon, you will only attract bargain hunters who happen to be Groupon customers and NOT your customers. These people flit from offer to offer to offer and will never pay full price for anything.

    The coupon company blamed that old chestnut, the weak European economy, for its poor profit

    I was never able to figure out how anybody selling goods, like a restaurant, could make any kind of profit on a Groupon deal..

    Spawn of Satan icon because...well it's Groupon.

    Putting aside the merits of their service (I'm not a fan), they missed their projections by 1% (aka "much more"), and their stock slides 37%?

    There's so much I don't understand.

    I'm not sure if that was just a missed "M" or if that was $568.30 ... .which would be a miss of $572M.
