You would only have to pay out 360 million a year to shareholders on a market cap of 12B to get a 3% dividend yield. It may not be sexy, especially in Silicon Valley, but Twitter could be a perfectly viable company.

But that's the problem they have - the market is/was bought in on the basis that this is a $40bn company (or more), the price reflects an massive upside belief, but the reality is $12b is about right.

So - sack a lot of people, cut costs, hold cash in the business and disappoint investors... Will the investors wear that though?
