So those are IPOs.
They kind of suck as investments in a secondary market.
They're great if you're a holder of the private company shares.
They're great initially.
problem for employees of companies is they tend to have lockup periods.
If you have to wait, whatever, a long period of time, you don't usually get to participate in that pop.

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