Early trading day &#8220;price spikes&#8221; are not unusual but a bit distorted. This is because the difference between the IPO price before it is publicly traded changes immediately when a stock goes public. For example, Figma <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/FIG\/\">$fig<\/a> Its offering price was $33 per share but it opened at $85 per share. Everyone talked about that \u201c+158% first trading day gain\u201d as if everyone benefited from it. The reality is that only a small number of investors who held shares before the IPO realized this and sold it. Nine months later, the same shares were trading 75% lower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson One: Don&#8217;t Fall Victim to FOMO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most IPOs have a tremendous amount of volatility, which is why we&#8217;ve established a simple rule to avoid hype. We won&#8217;t consider buying shares of any IPO until they file a 10-K or 10-Q as a publicly traded company. This gives some time for the dust to settle. Still, we are in no rush to invest.
