Any Airbnb takers???

Curious as to whether any growth investors have taken the plunge on Airbnb IPO? From what I gather shares stand at around $68, which is not only considerably higher than the figures suggested only a week ago but also seems a bit excessive given the company has yet to turn a profit. I'm always open to new investment ideas that depart slightly from my value investor perspective if they are attractive enough so interested to hear if anyone thinks there's a few quid to be made from getting into Airbnb early doors.....

    at 146$ bit overpriced, risky for starters, I would wait for all the short sellers to dump their stock, ABNB employees have yet to sell their own shares as well albeit 15% indivudually

  • Agree, struggling to believe they priced the IPO so cheaply at $68, that we will see this pop and deflate in the coming weeks.
