I mean, this is the trajectory that pretty much every single tech IPO follows… the question is where the dip lands and how long (if ever) it takes to recover.

I feel like this is disingenuous reporting. Typical investors should not be worried about performance over the span of a few days for any stock. Short-term traders hopefully know what they are doing and are not the target audience for this article. New stocks are volatile and this is not really newsworthy.

The article should read: average buyers of spaceX are up after holding a stock for less than a week, but we’ll say „almost underwater“ because hurr durr elon bad and we need clicks.
Idk what’s worse – the low effort yellow journalism or the room temperature iq chuckleheads lapping it up

So… they’re still ahead of where they jumped in? I like to shit on these companies as much as the next guy, but come on. Are we really writing articles acting like people are in trouble because their stocks are worth less than they hoped, but still more than they were purchased for?
Come back when the „average SpaceX buyer post-IPO“ *is* underwater, and it’s been long enough to actually say it’s the long term direction.

I’m no economic expert by any means or any sort of investment guru. But everything I’ve read said basically the IPO was so that the initial investors can cash out and this was expected to happen, leaving retail investors holding the bag.
Just makes me wonder what news sources these investors are using. Am I gaining more accurate insight from Reddit then all these rich people are from their investment advisors?
Granted, I don’t follow Wall Street, bets etc.

The public market on IPOs has one purpose: to pay out the private market owners/founders, shareholders, and sometimes employees.

I don’t understand how so many people didn’t see this coming. When you wear rose-tinted glasses, all red flags seem normal.
