site dedicated to sharing pictures of food fashion and travel claims of more than two hundred fifty million monthly users it's the second biggest u.s. i.p.o. this year after a ride to hailing outlived went public last month like a few of its unicorn peers however it is unclear when or if interest will ever become profitable. yan's quarter followed the i.p.o. for us on wall street high end so first lift now pin to rest another bellwether for how tech unicorns might perform as a publicly traded companies now what the picture is emerging for investors so far. well i mean especially if we look at pinterest it's a good omen for all those i.p.o.'s to come probably early may we might see the i.p.o. of over so that would be by far the biggest i.p.o. in a years but you mention a lift so we can't really judge from one day when the lift started trading so we go

the stock also had a very solid first day of trading but since then it has to drop to seventeen percent from its i.p.o. price but you did mention that pinterest is also not profitable but their loss is rather small with sixty to sixty million dollars in the past year lift in comparison last year had a loss of almost nine hundred million dollars but it was certainly a solid start and now we have to wait and see for the next couple of trading session if pinterest actually will do a bit better than give. to interest of course not the only company making its debut today at the new york stock exchange there is also the video conferencing tech company zoom so what thirst option been like well the reception was very warm and welcoming the stock of actually went up by a good seventy percent on the first trading session but there were those funny

little mishaps still some investors obviously got confused because there is a company called zoom to good knowledge and this is a small chinese firm was a market valuation of about sixteen million dollars and some investors obviously got confused and started buying the stock of good knowledge not of xoom media communications so obviously mistakes have been overall if we look at i.p.o. is that we've seen so far this year on average they've been up twelve percent still in general still a good market environment to get your shares listed at the new york stock exchange or the next day. a lesson in reading the fine print from young's quarter there on wall street thank you very much. and now to some a sobering statistics from the international labor organization it's released a report saying that an estimated six thousand five hundred people die of work

hours work are very special into the increase in circulatory disease respiratory diseases and other muscular skeletal diseases and psychosocial risk that includes the increasing use of industrial robots they can like in work and improve safety but workers are often left feeling they have little impact on their own work the aiello says governments and employers need to look closely at standards here as well. if the internet is called the information superhighway well then i'd like it to me it's china's fashion influencers on a digital runaway social media stars are calling the shots in asia's fashion capital shanghai among their most ardent followers are chinese and the hot for luxury items. here in shanghai top american designers latest collection is being presented to
