then I would have answered:
IPOs trade differently than regular stocks in HSX's "market". I would assume that they have formulas or "breaks" with relation to their penny stocks and varying degrees or market level caps as well.
I'm sure you probably think back on the days when the market went wild on the weekends when blockbusters IPOd on Saturdays and with free commisions the stocks went wild. But this game has changed (good or bad, could care less) and they have curbed that volatility.

Now with regard to what I thought was a witty, sarcastic statement that replyed to your STATEMENT, not your actual question. IPOs in the real world are super regulated, take months to years of pre-planning and issue a stated number of shares. And there are announcements, regulatory issues, etc dealt with b4 they issue more shares, not to mention board approvals/preferred voting etc for the companies themselves.
This is a fake game. No real money is transacted. No homes are put up as collateral. If this market goes out, a couple of people will be bored whereas a real world maket shutdown would cause some panic.
There are no set pieces in this game b/c its just a game. HSX can and will do what it wants, and I'm personally ok with that. Adjust and move on.
