Me and a friend bought in, knowing that it was probably too late. I made a decision that I would rather lose all my money than sell at a loss. The stock jumped like another $90 right after we bought and then the bottom fell out the next day. We waited about a week and my friend decided to sell at a loss, losing $800. I refused to sell. A couple weeks later it spiked back up early in the morning and my sell order executed. I ended up making a few bucks on the whole thing. The most important lesson I learned from that experience is that I'm not as risk tolerant as I thought I was. I decided never to buy meme stocks, or risky stocks again, and I think Reddit's IPO falls into at least one of those categories.
