The median return of -25.7% versus +39.6% for

the market is the number that should end most

IPO conversations before they start.

Totally. And for the rest, the fact that every major IPO of the past 15 years went through a 20%+ drawdown in its first year should pretty much make the point.

2 things I would add mate is :

1. u missed FIGMA stock from 150-15 in under 8 months.

2. you can short these IPO stained stocks by gettings leaps on them for cheap when they are high and use as a hedge.

It’s not my dataset, but it would have driven the point home even harder.

Totally, SpaceX options go live tomorrow, and tbh, I'm seriously considering a LEAPS put as a hedge.
