Actually, they should lock down the trading entirely so you can buy ONLY buy shares form issuer at fixed price - 0.0025. And nothing else.
Why? Because trades between speculators below IPO price add exactly ZERO btc to Co's purse or to be more precise, to your purse, dear share holder.
Allowing secondary trading while IPO is still in progress is kinda retarded. It undermines issuer and guess what... you, who hold the shares in the Co.
IPO has one goal, raise coin for the Co so it can build the business promised to shareholders (new and old). What happens after the IPO with the share price, is somewhat irrelevant to Co at this point of time.
Yes but this is a unique situation which Ken has created as a direct response to shareholder requests and has been formulated with the AMC community onboard. It would not be helpful for Ken to freeze transactions below IPO and shareholders would rightly object. The company has value we will be past IPO levels very soon.
