Not necessarily. It flew up to $73.00/share and now has settled -- but it has a relatively high unit sales prediction so it might rise again. I'm not sure, although I shorted it.

Yeah, I saw it shoot up to the 70s - that happened quick! I began shorting it then.

Although... if you were really shorting it, wouldn't you tell us that you were buying?

I got in at $45/share with about 28,000 shares and then started selling off in 5,000 share chunks. I think I sold the first lot at around $78/share...then the rest in the $55-68 range. I sort of like these quick IPO's with higher starting prices....wam, bam, thank you ma'am.

Good point. Maybe I should do that next time.

I was never able to get in to buy it until it had already settled. Frustrating.

lesseee... you are number one and you are frustrated. Huh.
Guess I don't need to wonder why I stopped trying to play the game.

#30 of 32 My experience today by kyfdx@Edmunds HOST

I was right on top of it.... constantly refreshing... First price I see is $45.. By the time I get my order placed, I've bought in at over $70!!
 
I immediately sell, and take that whole amount and short back the other way.... think I covered all my shorts between $48-$58....
 
So.. got lucky, I think... I could have taken a bath... All in all, I didn't make much money....
 
I am lurking just outside the top 100, though... I made some good money this morning, when I logged in and saw that the Forester had been pushed up into the upper $70s... Shorted that and made about $300K in a couple of hours...
