something i still think about almost weekly:

after SNAP filed for $3B IPO in 2017, shares of Snap Interactive (a small tech agency building dating apps) increased by 164% over four days... almost primarily driven by investors mistaking Snap Interactive for Snapchat.

it happened with zoom during covid, people confused the video chat tool $ZM with an unrelated company $ZOOM

This happened with something else a couple years ago too, might’ve been the Roblox IPO

Intentional IP confusion seems profitable 16 $degen

this proves one thing:
"buy now, DYOR later"
