There is something wrong with IPO pricing system

Posted by: shark1 on Aug 07, 09:34

I have never seen a system based on supply and demand be broken like this. My first observation was with Singularity SNGLR where there were only 100k shares short and it was quickly snapped up, but the shares declined almost immediately after the IPO shares were all purchased. Now Arthur & Lancelot (ARLNC) does not even sell the 40 million available shares and has 2 million shares short, but stock goes up 10%!!!! I just don't get it. Someone please explain.

good luck, no one can explain it! {nm} ndmaster Aug 07, 20:41

At the time of your post, 17mil shares were traded, and only 900k were short. The previous day's shares don't count because it was frozen. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 07, 21:19

To add, no one will argue that there is not a problem with the IPO system; however, this IPO (at the time of your post) was not a good exmpl {nm} PVL Admin aka Rocket123 Aug 07, 22:30
