minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoEh, I bought 100 shares. I figured: a) I have the money. b) I don’t get IPO offers that often. c) Buy what you hate. https://slate.com/business/2005/12/buy-stocks-in-companies-you-hate.html Once I have the shares at $34, I’ll put in an order to sell at $69. Nice!
minus-squareTh3D3k0y@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoMy expectation is that a lot of people will at the least buy in at the start due to the amount of publicity, then sell off after the initial rush.

minus-squareskozzii@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months ago$34 a share is just a cash grab I think, it’s gonna gonna tank immediately I believe but we will see what happens! Seems like just another opportunity to take a bunch of money from the poors while promising them riches.
