    I don’t like the Reddit ownership which is exactly why I switched to here…but this article is a month old, they priced their IPO at $34 and it’s currently selling at $55

    Obviously this doesn’t mean it can’t change in the future, but it very much has not tanked.

      What’s really interesting is how interested people are in buying puts right now. Today was the first day available to do so. I bought mine pretty early in the day and paid $460 per while the stock price was at $51.

      Well it was over $60 by the end of the day, but my put call, instead of drastically going down in value like it should have, was actually selling for $580.

      So many people are after puts against reddit that even as the stock went up another 18% throughout the day, puts were continuing to be bought at higher and higher prices.

      So now my options are worth $120 a piece over what I bought them for, while reddit jumped another 30% in value from opening this morning to right now where it’s sitting at $62.90
