I'd play it for the ride up but be very careful. If you got in on the IPO and it is oversubscribed, then you will probably make out like a bandit. The charts on many popular IPOs in fair to good markets is that they rocket up after the IPO for up to several weeks and then come down to earth. It's often a rocky ride on the way. I think they restrict the shares from being shorted for some period after it goes public but I'm not sure.

The company and sector sound interesting, but there is a lot of competition, a lot of hype and a lot of high hopes for huge amounts of business and profits. Not all of that is going to pan out and not all companies that are successful over the next couple of years will be as highly valued afterward.
