Korea FSC’s Official Rule Changes for Local IPOs & Key Takeaways
- Extending bookbuilding period to seven days (and test-the-waters) is unlikely to make any real difference. Leaving the financial capacity check to underwriters will likely cause sharp confusion in the market.
- The purpose of penalizing so-called hot money, like flippers and non-pricing institutions, is understandable. However, whether FSC has fully considered the side effects caused by uniformly applying this is questionable.
- Expanding the allowable price range on a listing day is the most crucial point we should pay attention to, and we must design a post-IPO trading strategy accordingly.
Elon Sold More Falling Tesla Stock. Margin Calls? Twitter Failing? Bank Demands? Likely All Three.
- Elon Musk sold billions more of Tesla near 2-yr lows, signaling he & Twitter need serious cash NOW.
- His banks know why—they hold Elon’s margin loans and they get Twitter’s financial info every month.
- And the banks want Elon to buy back from them Twitter’s riskiest LBO debt, which they can’t sell because of how fast he is destroying Twitter’s business and prospects.
