Uber doesn't want go public, don't count on discounted stock

According to Uber's CEO Travis Kalanick the company is not ready to go public yet. 
“We’re maturing as a company, but we’re still like eighth graders,” said Kalanick. “We’re in junior high. And someone’s telling us we need to go to the prom, but it’s a little early. Give us a few years.”
Uber’s apparent reluctance to go public might be due in part to the company’s ready access to cash from private investors. The on-demand car service has raised more than $5 billion total and has a valuation of over $50 billion.
So, if any of you, Uber drivers, were hoping to buy stocks at discounted prices you can forgot about it.

Don’t expect an Uber IPO any time soon
