Answer 1

1. BioNTech -  IPO @$15    Current Price - $84.27
Applied Therapeutics - IPO @$10.00    Current Price - $21.35

We see that the share price has performed really well. They were not over hyped initially becuase we can see the shares price almost double and 6 times, so this shows that they performed really well. People have trusted on these shares and they gave a good return!

2. No, I don't invest in stocks because they are so volatile and the market crashes in the past has proved that stock market is not safe because when it hits all the stocks go down and then you don't get the diversification benefit as well and you might have to book a huge losses and it's just like betting whether the price would go up or down just like you toss a coin and if it's head you think it will go up and if it's tail it will go down!
