Here is how an IPO works.
1. Have the largest and most powerful banks in the world underwrite IPO.
2. Hype-up and over-inflate the true value of company.
3. Share confidential information about the IPO with a select few of elite bankers just before the stock goes public (aka) insider information.
4. days, hours and or minutes before IPO goes public, concealed a weakened growth forecast prior to the high-profile IPO.
5. Begin Short Hedge: bet against and hedge against potential losses in an investment that is held long, offset by losses in the derivatives position, and vice versa.
6. Make millions and billions of dollars, then dump the super inflated stock to the bottom feeding working class citizens trying to get a sliver of the American Pie.
7. Watch stock go into tank, buy an island or two
8. Laugh at the regulators and inept regulations, in a fraudulent deregulated financial system
9. Make millions and billions in bonuses and incentives
10. Repeat Steps 1-9
