    Wrong. It is related to your underlying business.

    Also, unfortunately WSB was a one-off. It’s a highly monitored and bot infiltrated wasteland now. I hope someone is able to screw the reddit ipo, but it won’t be WSB.

      Apparently reddit hasn’t been following wsb… it’s likely to help the IPO from regards trying to time the market.

      Ya if anything I would have expected Robinhood to have been destroyed by WSB but it’s still kicking at $14.48/share.

      They did do a number on it though since it IPOd around $60 and even almost hit $90 there briefly before plummetting to around $8.

      Reddit will probably do the same thing, start in the middle but a brief high and then plummet before finding an equilibrium about 1/4 of what reddit initially thought it would be worth.

      I’ve been planning on doing like a 6 month short on it if I have the money because it is going to be tanked hard.
