IBKR opens @ 50 or so.

  1. 59, opens at 150, and you talk about it not seeing that price again.


    I fear my comment about cluelessness was actually understated.

  2. Wouldn't it be funny if this IPO also coincided with a May top in the equity markets. Oh the humanity!

    Now if you receive "bad service" from IB you can short some shares to make up for it :p

  3. how am I wrong? The NMX IPO was extremely demanded and hyped. My point is that after the hype, real value settles in.

    The fact that IB's IPO opened only 10% above placement price tells that relative to the NMX IPO, this was relatively lackluster in demand. The bid/cover #s were a false indicator, since the nature of the participants of the auction has to be factored in.

    Not saying the stock is worthless -- but it'll probably go nowhere for awhile and settle at 25.00-30.00.

    Up to 50 in the near term is dreaming at its best.

    You should buy shares along with demoship and pump a $50 opening which was inaccurate by a long shot.

  5. This is a dog of an IPO.

    All those arguing 'fundamentals' or 'growth' or anything else aren't paying attention to the bid/ask.

    Hips don't lie.

    (FIG blew out earnings in Q1, and is still below its IPO price, and I'd rather own FIG [though I don't and won't] than this competitor-laden walrus)

  6. Well, I was dead wrong. So i dumped at open. It's not like I'm going to sit around waiting for it to hit $50 :p

    FIG IPO price was in the teens. Please check facts beforehand.
