I assume you are trolling but just in case.... the SPY is now up on the day and Uber is still below its IPO price, so I guess we can put to rest the idea that a down market is a big factor in Uber trading below its IPO price.

I understand your intent was not to offend, but this is perhaps why the parent referred to it by a different name.
