Lockup Period Expirations for IPO's

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by caplan8293, Apr 26, 2004.

  1. When a company first goes public, there is typically a 6 month waiting period until the insiders can sell any of their shares.

    Is it a decent strategy to short the stock near this expiration and then buy it back lower due to all the insider selling?
