Is it possible to short an IPO? I would like to say that this is going to lose value almost immediately.
You can't borrow shares from ipo underwriters for 30 days so you can't short before that
You might be able to do a naked short, though.
I might be on a list now for googing it but, here's a wiki article for non-finance people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_short_selling?wprov=sfla1
