    Reddits stock price will go up slightly after IPO and then tank.

    It’ll probably peak at about $50-60 in June, and then be $5-6 by 2027.

    I base this on nothing.

      That is very similar to what this bobblehead says: https://youtu.be/gUiLuHvbC64?si=ncxEH2Y98h0bPzXr

      You are probably in the wrong line of work, friend.

      (Full disclosure, I couldn’t watch it all the way through though as watching idiots talk about this stuff almost made me throw up a little. If they talk about specific numbers, it’s going to be past the halfway point after the “expert” talks about red-i-tors.)

      If it goes that low, anyone would be stupid to not buy. I think FB went down to around $15 not long after their ipo somewhere between $30-$35.

        lol. No.

        If there’s any trend in stock prices, it’s that the ones that go down tend to stay down and the ones that go up tend to keep going up.

        So no, after a stock tanks it is NOT a good idea to buy.

    I’m pricing my right sock at $5,000.

    Doesn’t mean anyone will buy it. Let’s see how it trades in the long term.

        I was completely hammered blacked out once and lost a sandal and bought a guys one sandal. Next day realized I now have 2 mismatched sandals and could’ve just bought both of his.

      We should start a Sock Market. We could sell long socks, short socks… Think of the possibilities

    After a series of community revolts and a revolving door of chief executives, by 2015 Reddit had more than 100 million users but only $12 million in annual revenue…

    …Perhaps Reddit’s biggest obstacle to a smooth I.P.O. has been its users. The thousands of forums, or “subreddits,” that make up the site are overseen largely by a volunteer force of moderators. Some have resisted the idea of Reddit’s being a public company, concerned that market forces and the quarterly demands of shareholders will corrode some of the features that made the site so attractive to them.

    Apparently the community revolts were ended by 2015, and the recent issues have just been unspecified “resistance to going public”. That thing that was national news 9 months back, and was also reported about in the New York Times, somehow didn’t merit a mention.

    Mike Isaac has covered Reddit since 2010 from San Francisco.

    By “covered Reddit” does he mean wrote articles with whatever comment was most upvoted on a topic? Because he certainly didn’t demonstrate a particularly deep understanding of Reddit in this article.
