Playing & Trading Strategy

How do players deal with an IPO bloodbath day, like today?

Posted by: jjmarino on Aug 25, 19:00

I chose to shop for a few big-budget movies opening in the next 3-6 months, figuring that their prices were temporarily less inflated compared to projected adjust.

Obviously, I only looked for stocks I thought were trading below adjust/delist price, and only for stocks that had taken a significant percentage hit today. And the closer they were to release, the better.

Also, I held all of my own bloodbath stocks, because anything I considered worth buying and holding is something that I think will make today's loss back, and more.

What did you do, or what have you done on other days when big IPOs caused other stocks to nosedive?

I play "long strategy" so I just ride it out. "This too, shall pass." {nm} DTravel Aug 25, 19:13

Just curious, where does the new money come from to make up for all these loses? nanomurf Aug 25, 21:51

HSX is a pretty inflationary economy. Adjusts add big money. As does every new port. {nm} jjmarino Aug 25, 21:57

Plus, it's not really that much money, compared to overall port size. I'd hope active traders would have lost less than 1% of their port {nm} Roger More Aug 26, 13:43

'Lose', perhaps. Please advise when you want the ROTO to take over the Port. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Aug 26, 17:39
