After the fall of Uber, will other unicorns still be driven to the slaughter of public markets?

The most anticipated initial public offering for years has not lived up to its hype.

Shares of Uber Technologies (symbol: UBER) closed their first trading day Friday at $ 41.60, down $ 3.40 or 7.6% from the $ 45 offer price.

According to Jay Ritter, an American academic, this was the worst performance of the first day for a giant US IPO.
