I don’t like the Reddit ownership which is exactly why I switched to here…but this article is a month old, they priced their IPO at $34 and it’s currently selling at $55
Obviously this doesn’t mean it can’t change in the future, but it very much has not tanked.
The stock price is gonna get juiced for a bit, and then when the blackout period expires, lots of people are going to sell and the price will drop off a cliff. It’s a pretty common pattern in tech. I’m kinda expecting it to happen with Reddit.
Robinhood went public at around $38 a share, climbed its first couple weeks to over $55, then dropped like a rock to like $8 a share. Also look into Beyond Meats.
A lot of big name recognition companies have this happen to them during bull markets. There’s an initial run up, followed by a massive over correction and things don’t stabilize for at least 6 months after the drop off. As well as reddit is known, it’s going to be a hard rug pull.
Be in the market a while and everyone’s lost their ass on a thing or two. You slowly and painfully learn to take the L and bail out of stuff sooner. That helps.
Then sometimes things are just completely out of your control and something happens to a company overnight and you just get obliterated before you/ your broker is able to do anything about it.
What’s really interesting is how interested people are in buying puts right now. Today was the first day available to do so. I bought mine pretty early in the day and paid $460 per while the stock price was at $51.
Well it was over $60 by the end of the day, but my put call, instead of drastically going down in value like it should have, was actually selling for $580.
So many people are after puts against reddit that even as the stock went up another 18% throughout the day, puts were continuing to be bought at higher and higher prices.
So now my options are worth $120 a piece over what I bought them for, while reddit jumped another 30% in value from opening this morning to right now where it’s sitting at $62.90

Same for Rivian. Its IPO was at $78 per share, it climbed up to $130 and it’s at around $10 now.
Ugh, don’t remind me. I lost my ass on them

Holy shit. I just peeked at put prices, they’re all almost double calls, that’s hilarious.
That really tells me about liquidity and the IV of your position.
Same here
I bought as many puts as I can
So we finally found out spez’s exit strategy?
That’s the entire point of an IPO.
