This has sparked fear that the largest IPO in history was purposely fast tracked into the indices after only 15 days, so retirement funds and passive investment funds were forced to buy at astronomical prices, and hold the bag the entire way down.

Warren Buffett reveals the underpricing test behind Apple's iPhone: a $1,000 device can be worth more than a $1 million plane.
"I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year."
"Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of people practically live their lives by it."
"That little piece of whatever it is, that is some of the most valuable real estate in the world."
"They spend hours a day."
"It is part of their habit of living."
"If we did not have it, you could not sell them anything else. They either went next door or they came back."
"The iPhone 10 cost $1,000 and that is a lot of money."
"I have a plane that costs me maybe a million dollars a year."
"I would rather give up the plane, which is a million or a million and a half a year, for something that costs $1,000."
"The iPhone is enormously underpriced."
That is the replacement-friction test.
The moat is not just usage. It is what customers refuse to substitute when supply disappears, prices rise, or a cheaper alternative shows up.
Before you optimize conversion, pricing, or retention, ask the Buffett question: what would your best customer give up before giving up you?
