Re: (☞゚ヮ゚)☞@kq4ym sure you can make money even on an IPO that ends up tanking. It's all in the timing and strategy, whether you buy to sell higher later or short your purchase in the hopes of a lower price later.
Re: (☞゚ヮ゚)☞It does make one wonder who may profit from the IPOs. As noted, "Hortonworks previously filed for an IPO. It hasn't gone so well; its stock has gone from $26 to under $10 today." Nonetheless, someone made some money just not the folks who invested. It will be interesting to watch this one.
Maybe the company doesn't have a choice. It's probably already hit up the private markets for as much cash as it could.

I'll show myself out.
