Exceeded all expectations. Twitter makes a big splash on its opening day on wall street and makes instant millionaires out of dozens of bay area employees. Twitter executives didnt make the same mistakes facebook made a year and a half ago. They priced their stock conservatively and didnt flood the market with too many shares. Twitters stock closed this afternoon at just under 45 a share. A 2 premium from its ipo 72 premium from its ipo price of 26. Our business and Technology Reporter is live at twitter headquarters. David, i imagine that party is still going. Reporter yes, you can tell thats whats going on because theres been no one leaving the twitter building since lunchtime today. And we have also heard from a neighbor across the way at the end of the building. He says there are preparations underway for a big bash for tonight. Now, we know that theres been a lot of celebrating going on, and it was joined by Top Executives from the company who were in new york this morning for the opening bell but who flew across country to be here tonight to be with the employees. And im sure the employees are getting a big rush from that. All of them have been tightlipped as weve been standing outside the building. Lets show you whats been going on inside. We have a sneak look inside. This was one day twitter employees probably wanted to be at the office early. While the doors were closed to us, we got an inside look at ipo day from the tweets and photos posted by employees. This is the mound of doughnuts that awaited them. 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 26pershare 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 isnt ease emp. Its not a science, its 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 didnt because of risk factors. Any ipo stock that becomes a trading vehicle the first few days after an ipo, its a guessing game how much it will eventually be worth. Nobody knows. Doesnt have a track record. There may be revenues, but we dont know what the profitability will be. Theres 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. Theyve been talking candidly about their growth. Theyve been talking about their slower growth. Theyve 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. Were watching the star be born. Thats always exciting. Reporter twitter now has 2 billion to expand the company. And investors who sunk their money into the stock today, theyll 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 companys founders into billionaires. At the closing price, the 10 stake in twitter held by cofounder Evan Williams is now worth 2. 5 billion. Partner, jack dorseys 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. Thats the credit card Payment Company that is primed to go public next year. The companys credit card readers for smartphones and tablets are widely used at starbucks and by Small Businesses like taxis and food trucks. Youve probably seen them. Squares headquarters are a block away from twitters, and like twitter, square has yet to turn a profit. But not everyone is cheering twitters success. Several protests took place today in front of the companys 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 . Youre making money here, and the effect that youre having is negative for lowincome people. For poor people. E being forced out of town. Theyre being pushed out in record numbers. And thats thats 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 twitters 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 twitters 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 shes 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, thats a lot of lemonade. Reporter shes already donated over 100,000, and now the young girls Lemonade Stand has morphed into a bona fide business. Twitter offers her bottles of organic product to employees. And its 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 cant 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 custommade tutu, posing with Patrick Stewart of star trek fame, and cheryl fandaka of the Boston Police department. And here with twitter cofounder 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 its a wonderful idea that someone so young can inspire people who are years older than her. Reporter vivians Company Called make a stand, has an eyecatching Marketing Tool this car. Her best buddy says prek is part of the team. Audrey daniels did not see this mornings bell ringing, but i think its really cool that she gets to do that kind of stuff because i think its just her style of how to do things. Reporter and vivians father says twitter sharing the spotlight with his daughter may turn her moment into a movement. Im carolyn tyler. All right, thank you very much.

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.

A new lawsuit filed 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 ccsfs 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 ccsfs 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 or trans hydrogenated oils or transfats, eliminating them from our food supply. Nick smith with the story now from oakland. You know, you just roast it. Reporter diane harmon has no need for anyone premade. This conscientious shopper was pleased to learn the food and Drug Administration proposed a measure to eliminate transfats, the arteryclogging substance that is a major contributor to Heart Disease and found in most prepackaged goods. I dont 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, im happy if people dont 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 didnt ban it from the common packaged goods we find on store shelves every day like some cake icing, common brands of cereal, and the everpopular ice cream. So whats 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 dont have transfat. Reporter and its everywhere. Look at your favorite snack, and then take a closer look at the fine print on the back. In less than a year, you may not need a magnifying glass to know if whats inside is good to eat. Abc 7 news. Still ahead tonight on abc 7 news, buyer beware. The type of insurance that is rarely worth the cost. Michael finney will show us what not to waste money on. Both car and Health Insurance protect us from paying exorbitant outofpocket fee its something goes wrong. There are some other kinds of insurance that can be a waste of money. 7 on your sides Michael Finney is here with that story. Reporter theres a lot of insurance policies out there. We pitch them constantly. So weve 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 isnt always worth it because it only pays out if you die from something other than disease or age. Youre better off just getting a cheap term Life Insurance policy, and dont try to gamble on whether youll 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. Theres 30,000 a year in auto crashes. If you have a term life policy, then youll 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. Youre paying about up to 1 of the credit card balance which is what youre going to be charged for this product. Youre better off paying that toward getting the balance down in the first place rather than planning for the worst. Repor 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 youre 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 its 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.
