How is a recently IPO'd stock, heavily shorted gaining value?

Posted by: dtshakes (a.k.a DTshakes) on Feb 21, 11:44

GAJOB IPO'd last week with a 16:3.7 short to long ratio. How is this stock up from it's IPO price of $18/share to over $20? To me, that looks like a recipe for a plummet.

Price movements are caused by trades today, not positions held. {nm} Antibody Feb 21, 11:56

So, if you believe an IPO-ing stock is overvalued, should you wait to short it? (nm) dtshakes Feb 21, 12:07

IPOs do hard-to-predict things for the first 1 to 3 weeks. Up to you whether you 'wait and see' or lock in your decision early. Austinmh Feb 21, 19:49

it just looks like one of those lunatic fluctuations that happen so regularly here {nm} blaze223 Feb 21, 12:34
