- Founder Issues
- On Nov 13, 1998, theglobe.com debuted on Nasdaq, initially the target stock price was at $9 a share, yet theglobe.com made stock history when shares of the company hit $97 a share. It was the biggest gain in stock history.
- TheGlobe.com success was overnight, the company had set a record for IPO with 606% increase over the initial share price.
- However, the company had hit rock bottom after CNN recorded Stephen dancing on a table at Manhattan bar with his girlfriend.
- He was shown wearing his vinyl pants, hence he was dubbed as "the CEO in the plastic pants". His statement to the reporter which turned theGlobal.com's future around was, "Got the girl. Got the money. Now, I’m ready to live a disgusting, frivolous life."
- His statement affected and jeopardize theGlobal.com as investors grew skeptical of the "new economy", theGlobe.com's share price fell drastically from a high of $95 to less than 10 cents.
- The former VP of the AICPA took over, and both of the founders were forced out of the company. But even when both were gone, the company still struggled to fix the mess caused.
Founder's ineptitude affected the company's future.
