- homologate 7y agoUnderwriters are not allowed to lend out shares for short sale until 30 days after the IPO. Other investors could lend out shares but there are not going to be that many shares on the market right after the IPO. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/062905.asp https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/062905.asp
- jdmichal 7y agoIf you want to short a stock, you get far better leverage with options than actual short positions. And AFAIK there's no limitations there.
- dbuder 7y agoYou can make a OTC/private deal and you can buy puts and sell calls. I'll be spectating the book on day one, the underwriters might have to defend, really defend, not just touch the number like FB.
