And we gathered some examples of IPOs where there was some early volatility that did not determine the long term future. So Carvana, for example, which is an online used car dealer in the automotive space, and it did experience volatility at first, with the stock sliding in the first few months but ultimately trended upward.
Kate: So Carvana opened at $13.50 a share, falling below its IPO price, so it didn't even have the IPO pop. And then in 2018, it hit an all-time high of $65 per share. Today, it's trading around $58 per share, so that's ultimately a positive story to be told there.
Facebook, for example, dropped below its IPO price on its second day of trading and then actually had a rough first year on the stock market before the stock ultimately took off and became a very obvious success.
