Hahaha. Marvelous.

I hope the site never sees an IPO until it fades into obscurity.

I hope it does IPO... and wallstreetbets has a field day shorting it

Can you even short an IPO?

[-] ParkingPsychology@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I don't see why not? Not the actual IPO, but as soon as there are shares on the market, you can short them.

IPO stocks can be sold short once they are trading on public markets

There also has to be an uptick in price before you can short... its not like forex where you can short whenever you feel like it... as far as I'm aware I've never been much of a stock guy though only played in currency exchanges
