This stock is going to see some price adjustment over the coming week. Some institutional investors will be offloading, as will employees. There will be more supply but the question will be if there will be sufficient enough demand to maintain price. There's only 9 million shares in circulation at the moment, so shorting has been difficult. This will also change.

Any thoughts?

Why do you think there will be large off loading in the next week?

Holders of the first offering have been prevented from selling for the first few weeks. On top of this, another 9 million shares are being placed by the company.

Here's a little more from seekingalpha

"One stock we have our eye on right now is LinkedIn (LNKD). The stock broke a key price channel today, and we continue to see this stock losing value. The company is issuing more shares that will further dilute an already overpriced stock. We think this stock should be priced less than $40, and we would recommend long-term puts on the stock as well as shorting the shares. This company has very little upside in our opinion even with significant growth."

Is there a short selling ban on this stock? Tried to sell short on my US broker account and sell on my UK spread betting account and was not able to execute the trade on either platform.

Got an error message that "there was no shares available to borrow at this time"

How do I get in on the action?

There may not be enough shares available to borrow to fill your order. My order took about 5 days to fill. Set your order to good until cancelled.

This stock is tanking. Any ideas on where the bottom will be?

I think the short term gains on shorting this may be gone. It's dropped form $74 to $55 in under 2 weeks. The share price could go up or down now, as its hard to know the market sentiment on this stock.

A May 2012 50 Put would have given 60% return over the two weeks. Nice bit of profit for those who shorted.
