Asking because I got it and I’m not really sure what to do. So, I wanted to see what strangers on the internet are going to do.

I don’t have an existing e-trade account and I’m not super excited about creating one for the singular purpose of this IPO. But, if I can quickly make a couple of bucks and then cash out, that might be worth it.

Are there rules to when you cash out if you get in at the IPO price? Could I buy-in at the $30-ish/share price and couple that with a trailing stop-loss order? Maybe this isn’t the right Lemmy community to ask this, but I figured I’d give it a shot.

    I wouldn’t bother unless it’s a small amount of play money you are willing to burn. Reddit has so far not managed to turn a profit after 19 years and Reddit management does not inspire confidence or present themselves as particularly competent. If this is your first investment you would be way better off opening an IRA and buying some VTI or VOO instead of gambling on a risky IPO.
