As if anyone needs more reasons not to invest in Chinese companies. The capriciousness of the regulators there is simply too big a risk.
Instant buy. San Francsico based.

Any tips for IPO investing? Is it true that IPO stocks are very unpredictable soon after IPO?
Nextdoor is full of gossipy Karens. A nightmare bullshit version of Facebook.
IPO has another name => “It’s Probably Overpriced”
Underwriters, merchant banking legally do many things to prop up the price…
Before jumping into stocks, educate, educate and educate so that your money is safe.

Robinhood didn’t do that well on its IPO day. A Menlo Park company.
Robinhood falls in its public market debut, closes more than 8% lower at $34.82 per share
Robinhood is run by people of not so good character. Worst customer service. The kind of service that is acceptable for booking a hotel room, but not for a company that is supposed to be custodian for your money.
Yet minted a lot of 8 figure millionaires in Bay Area - even with this price, couple of friends, Sr SWE level, got 10M - 20M and they joined HOOD 3-4 yrs ago only. More buyers are coming to Peninsula (Mountain View to San Mateo). They don’t have locked up, they can sell 15% of total (vest and unvested) today.

According to Jim Crammer, the IPO benefited only the underwriters and the promoters. Very little left for retail investors to benefit from. And this company has no moat around it.

This is why having a startup wealth generating machine in the Bay Area is sooooo important.
Sunnyvale people are spared the onslaught?
Younger crowd with capable money preferred more vibrant downtowns compared to families.

You should have bought.

The factory of meme stocks became a meme stock…
Lol I bought 20k of HOOD on Monday, almost 2x’d by this morning and volatility high so I sold slightly OTM covered calls 1 month exp for a bigly premium. Basically covered most of my base purchase.
I thought being in SF guarantees success.
Anyone going to buy Rivian when it IPOs?
