    They sent me the IPO invite email a while back and I declined to participate. I’ve never given them a real name or real email (only a masked email). I’m sure they have a profile on everyone, and those are probably more accurate than any of us would like. But participating in it requires they know who you are for real.

    I won’t lie, part of me has a little bit of FOMO over it, and wonders if the meme stock madlads will do a big pump & dump on it. Which I will miss out on. But my brain tells me it’s way too risky, and that the most likely scenario is the elite insiders (spez and pals) will get any rewards, and they will leave the invited reddit users as useful suckers holding the bag.

    I mean, anything is possible when it’s the lunacy of reddit and wallstreet combined. I mostly expect it to tank, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked if it skyrockets out of irrational exuberance.

      all i hear is people wanting to buy puts on it.

        I hope it spirals. I don’t want to see little guy investors hurt. But I do want to see that douchebag spez fail.

      I’m in the same boat as you. It’s either going to be a total flop, or a pump and dump. Nothing else.
