How did the biggest IPOs of 2020 fare as they rounded the corner into 2021, the change of administrations, the diminishment of COVID, and the burn off of any lock out periods for the original investors?

This “post lock out expiration” period is always an interesting bellwether.

Here are the 2020 IPO biggies:

DoorDash — food delivery in the Age of COVID (very skeptical post COVID, I am)

But, hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I’m just a Big Red Car and my stock has never been higher because I am a proud American muscle car.
