Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

Maybe Mark McGrath can do that in his son's, whatever that is, RESP.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

Triple leveraged in his RESP.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

I'll send him a message.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

He's got a new idea.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

More realistically, and we'll talk about dimensional in a second, dimensional just excludes those types of stocks.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

It's even more nuanced than that because not all IPOs are necessarily bad.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

Let me keep going in the flow that I have this written down.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

So those are IPOs.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

They kind of suck as investments in a secondary market.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

They're great if you're a holder of the private company shares.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

They're great initially.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

problem for employees of companies is they tend to have lockup periods.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

If you have to wait, whatever, a long period of time, you don't usually get to participate in that pop.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

But if you held the shares and for whatever reason, don't have a lockup, the IPO is kind of great.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

But if you're buying in the secondary market, not as great.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

low float IPOs.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

So we talked earlier about what float means.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

SpaceX is probably going to go public with a low public float and some of the other companies may also do something similar.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

If we look at low float IPOs in particular, the data look particularly bad.

The Rational Reminder Podcast
Episode 406: When Massive Private Companies Go Public

So just to reiterate from earlier, a low float IPO means that only a small portion of the company shares are available for public trading.
