WTF is Jet.com? I have never heard of it, why is it worth 3B if it is not common knowledge!! Sigh!



This kind of comment comes up often in these threads. It takes a certain degree of conceit to think a company can only be valuable if you heard of it.

No, but it's entirely reasonable to suggest that an e-commerce company that's trying to compete with Amazon isn't valuable if you haven't even heard about it in passing from friends or family.
