super charging them with sugar on top of the adrenaline rush of the opening bell in new york. they scrunched together to watch the ceremony on tv monitors. one thing was clear early on -- the $26-per-share ipo price set last night was conservative. underwriters trying to gauge supply and demand settled on a $45 opening price, 73% higher. that meant twitter could have raised over $1.5 billion more. the ceo of yelp says setting an ipo price isn't ease emp. >> it's not a science, it's simply an art. at the end of a long day and couple of weeks, you do your best to deliver value to both your own shifting shareholders and the new ones. and you try to be as fair as possible. >> reporter: while some were jumping in, others didn't because of risk factors. >> any ipo stock that becomes a trading vehicle the first few days after an ipo, it's a guessing game how much it will eventually be worth. nobody knows. doesn't have a track record. there may be revenues, but we don't know what the profitability will be. there's a host of unknowns. resign affidavit lites say twitter played it conservative, acknowledging weak spots while projecting confidence about its future. >> they were very cautious. they took a very meticulous approach to approaching this big ipo day. they've been talking candidly about their growth. they've been talking about their slower growth. they've been talking about how many really engaged user they have. >> reporter: whether you watch from the sidelines or put your cash on the line, twitter is having in just eight letters a good day. >> we're watching the star be born. that's always exciting. >> reporter: twitter now has $2 billion to expand the company. and investors who sunk their money into the stock today, they'll have to wait for the company to turn a profit. at twitter headquarters in san francisco, david louis, abc 7 news. >> the twitter update has turned the company's founders into billionaires. at the closing price, the 10% stake in twitter held by co-founder evan williams is now worth $2.5 billion. partner, jack dorsey's share, is worth more than $1 billion. although twitter executives, keep in mind, cannot sell their stock for six months. dorsey, by the way, is also the founder of square. that's the credit card payment company that is primed to go public next year. the company's credit card readers for smartphones and tablets are widely used at starbucks and by small businesses like taxis and food trucks. you've probably seen them. square's headquarters are a block away from twitter's, and like twitter, square has yet to turn a profit. >> but not everyone is cheering twitter's success. several protests took place today in front of the company's mid market street headquarters. they were organized by affordable housing advocates who believe twitter is making things too expensive for working class residents to live in. they criticize the decision to give twitter a tax break to move into the old jewelry mart building. >> what are you doing for san francisco? you're making money here, and the effect that you're having is negative for low-income people. for poor people. seniors. they're being forced out of town. they're being pushed out in record numbers. and that's -- that's not right. >> a spokesperson for san francisco mayor ed lee calls the criticism misguided saying twitter and other tech companies have created thousands of jobs in the city and are keeping the local economy robust in the face of global recession. twitter got to choose who would ring the opening bell on the new york stock exchange today. instead of having company executives do it, as so many companies do, three of twitter's top users had that honor. on the left is actor patrick stewart of "star trek: the next generation" fame. on the right, boston police public information officer cheryl feandaka who used twitter to keep the community informed during the boston marathon bombings. and right this in t-- right in middle is vivian har, a fourth grader from marin county. we have more on vivian and why she is such a twitter star. she is. >> reporter: she is. everyone was asking who she is. vivian harr was chosen to share twitter's big day because company executives are impressed with her efforts to help end the modern day slavery of children her age. ringing the bell at the new york stock exchange is an honor not many people receive. vivian harr is among that select few. and she's only 9 years old. [ applause ] [ bell ] >> reporter: we first met vivian last year fighting to end child slavery one glass of lemonade at a time. >> honey, that's a lot of lemonade. >> reporter: she's already donated over $100,000, and now the young girl's lemonade stand has morphed into a bona fide business. twitter offers her bottles of organic product to employees. and it's now sold in 150 stores including this market in her marin county hometown of fairfax. 5% of all gross sales goes to her cause. >> you can't keep it on the shelf. when people see the truck, sometimes they come in and -- is she here? they want to meet her. >> reporter: today the fourth grader took to her twitter page to share her new york stock exchange experience. here she is wearing what she tells me is a custom-made tutu, posing with patrick stewart of "star trek" fame, and cheryl fandaka of the boston police department. and here with twitter co-founder jack dorsey. vivian tweeted, "today i rang the bell for hope and freedom." her twitter account has over 22,000 followers, and in fairfax, just about everyone knows the lemonade girl. >> i think it's a wonderful idea that someone so young can inspire people who are years older than her. >> reporter: vivian's company called make a stand," has an eye-catching marketing tool -- this car. her best buddy says pre-k is part of the team. audrey daniels did not see this morning's bell ringing, but -- >> i think it's really cool that she gets to do that kind of stuff because i think it's just her style of how to do things. >> reporter: and vivian's father says twitter sharing the spotlight with his daughter may turn her moment into a movement. i'm carolyn tyler. >> all right, thank you very much. so who are the most popular twitter users out there?

>> he's a good kid. a very good kid. >> reporter: why do you think he did this -- >> i don't know. he was with friends joking around. >> reporter: a junior at oakland high school, thomas is charged as an adult with felony assault and mayhem, with hate crime enhancements to both charges. >> and that means if you get convicted of the underlying crime and you get convicted of it as a hate crime, then not only will you get the punishment for the crime itself, whatever the law requires for that, but then you're going to get more time because it's a hate crime. >> reporter: police say thomas lit another passenger, sasha fleishman, on fire while she was asleep on the bus monday afternoon. fleishman was wearing a skirt. the victim's parents say the 18-year-old does not identify as either male or female. in the criminal complaint, the officer interviewing thomas said, "during the suspect's interview, the suspect stated he did it because he was homophobic." she did not want to appear on camera, but thomas' mother told us, "i am very sorry for my son's actions. i did not raise him that way. my son is not a hateful person, he's a kid. kids joke around." while fleishman undergoes treatment at the san francisco burn center, richard thomas is scheduled to be back in court here next tuesday. in oakland, abc 7 news. still ahead tonight on abc 7 news, workers' safety on the b.a.r.t. tracks. workers ask why it took years to contribute to a rule that may have contributed to several deaths. the incident raising new concerns about battery powered cars. our early november weather continues to get milder and milder. can this pattern last through the weekend?

today is asking a superior court judge to block the planned closure of city college of san francisco. the lawsuit is seeking a court order that would overturn a decision to revoke ccsf's acreditation in july. accuses the accrediting commission for community and junior colleges of violating federal violations in its review of ccsf. at a forum this afternoon, federal and state legislators also took aim at that accrediting commission. >> the privacy agency which has no oversight. it operates in secret. what we are hoping will happen is that the department of education will revoke its license. its ability to function as an agency that accredits community colleges. >> the accrediting commission is not commenting this lawsuit, but it has said two previous lawsuits challenging its decision to revoke ccsf's accreditation are without merit. they are blamed for an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. and today, the fda announced plans to reclassify partially highdrogi interstated oils

anyone premade. this conscientious shopper was pleased to learn the food and drug administration proposed a measure to eliminate transfats, the artery-clogging substance that is a major contributor to heart disease and found in most prepackaged goods. >> i don't eat stuff that has that in it. i just never got in the habit of it. >> reporter: california has already gone after transfat at fast food spots and restaurant menus. >> as a cardiologist, i'm happy if people don't consume transfats. >> reporter: transfats have slowly been disappearing. under the new proposal, the agency wants to finish the job. a move celebrated by health advocates like dr. robert feldman, a cardiologist with summit medical center. >> you can start with very healthful oils such as canola oil and peanut oil, but modify them to make them more solid at room temperature. that modification makes them bad for the heart. >> reporter: the concern centers on highdrogi nation, an industrialized process that makes liquids solid. a bill passed in 2008 didn't ban it from the common packaged goods we find on store shelves every day like some cake icing, common brands of cereal, and the ever-popular ice cream. so what's a shopper to do? if you see anything other than a zero in the transfat line on a nutritional label, health experts say put it back on the shelf. >> i feel better, you know, when i see -- when i see baked prepared goods from someone else. would be nice to have confidence that they don't have transfat. >> reporter: and it's everywhere. look at your favorite snack, and then take a closer look

some other kinds of insurance that can be a waste of money. >> 7 on your side's michael finney is here with that story. >> reporter: there's a lot of insurance policies out there. we pitch them constantly. so we've been looking interest these, and there are really only a few types of insurance you really must have. so the moral of the story tonight is -- check it out. >> i have car insurance. i have renters insurance. i have life insurance. >> reporter: those are the basic insurances that most experts recommend. what about all the other ones? take mortgage life insurance versus traditional life insurance. >> this is a product that would pay your mortgage in case you died. the difference is if you just bought term life insurance and died, you could spend this money on whatever you want, be it the mortgage, be it something else. >> reporter: joe rideout is a consumer services managering for the nonprofit consumer action. he also thinks accidental life insurance isn't always worth it because it only pays out if you die from something other than disease or age. >> you're better off just getting a cheap term life insurance policy, and don't try to gamble on whether you'll die in a certain way or another. >> reporter: another popular insurance for travelers is flight insurance. >> just look at the numbers. over the last decade, 15 deaths per year for u.s. airline crashes. there's 30,000 a year in auto crashes. if you have a term life policy, then you'll be covered in either case. >> reporter: if you lose your job or become disabled, involuntary unemployment insurance pays your monthly minimum credit card payment. but you might want to think twice before you buy it. >> you're paying about up to 1% of the credit card balance which is what you're going to be charged for this product. you're better off paying that toward getting the balance down in the first place rather than planning for the worst. >> reporter: and be very wary of credit card loss protection. >> federal law says that the most you could be liable for is $50. and in practice, credit card companies waive even that first $50. so you're facing no liability whatsoever. >> reporter: mary from san jose has been very happy with her pet insurance. >> just had the exams. if they made it shots or surgeries, then it's less expensive. >> reporter: but pet insurance may not be a great value for all pet owners. >> they also frequently have maximum payouts over the life of the pet that often can be $20,000 or less. so once you -- your pet has a serious problem, the company may stop paying for treatment if your pet is really in need of it. >> reporter: in california, the department of insurance does a pricing survey every year. with it, you can find out why your insurance company -- what your insurance company charges versus others. it is definitely worth checking out. the slink at abc7news.com. hers a basic recall on insurance -- never buy insurance for something you can afford to pay for yourself. >> yeah. a good thought. thank you, michael. lung cancer, of course, is a terrible disease. and it's not just smokers or former smokers who are at risk. >> the people presents... so delicious, they won't even know it's chicken. 50% less fat... 100% johnsonville taste. a local nonprofit is funding a harvard study to find out whether lung cancer can be inherited. in tonight's reporter, cheryl jennings talks it a woman who learned about the research and says it may have saved her life. they took enough tissue around it so they can tell it's not in the lymph nodes, so it hadn't spread. >> reporter: nancy capelli was lucky. she was able to detect her lung cancer early. she explained why that happened when she met me at the lung cancer foundation in san carlos. it's funding new research to find out whether lung cancer can be inherited. nancy was advised to get checked after a couple of things got happened. her mother was battling breast cancer and thought it had come back. but it was actually lung cancer. a rare mutation called t-790 was found in her dna she enrolled in the study at dana farber cancer institute in boston. she learned her family might be at risk. >> then i found out that i tested positive for having that inherited gene mutation. >> reporter: next, nancy got a ct scan. >> there were seven or eight little nodules which was kind of frightening. but theier very small. >> reporter: so she had surgery to remove the largest nodule. >> and it came back as, you know, stage zero. >> reporter: nancy gets a ct scan every six months now. she also joined a support group formed by bonnie and tony aderio. we all talked by skype with the oncologist leading the inherit study, dr. jeffrey oxnard. >> some individuals are in their 20s and already have have small lung nodules growing in their lungs even though they're young, never smoked. we worry this is lung cancer developing early. >> reporter: bonnie survived stage 3b lung cancer. she plans to get tested for that t-790 gene mutation. >> because obviously losing four family members to it disease, i want to do something that will help my kids and grandkids. >> if this is something that's passed genetically and had nothing to do with cars jcinoge hopefully that will go toward attacking smoking. >> reporter: they founded a research program that is coordinating testing for families in the study. they can enroll on line at danafarber.org. families will receive a kit with a mouth swab for a dna sample to mail in. >> so this research is important for people like myself to get early diagnosis, right? we know with any type of disease, finding out early is better. >> reporter: cheryl jennings, abc 7 nudews. >> we have links to the study
