Weekly Comic: Will the bears take control of $SNAP?

Investing.com - Shares of Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) are down around 15% so far in the four sessions since the Snapchat owner's soaring market debut last week.

The $3.4-billion listing last Thursday was the hottest technology offering in three years, but the loss-making company's lofty valuation and slowing user growth have raised eyebrows on Wall Street.

The stock fell more than 12% on Monday, followed by an almost 10% drop Tuesday, before bouncing back 6% on Wednesday.

Traders are looking to position themselves to cash in on further declines after analysts gave the company a lukewarm reception following its red-hot market debut.

Options trading in Snap is expected to start on Friday, once regulatory requirements are met.

The owner of messaging app Snapchat is not profitable and has warned it may never be.

So far, no analysts have initiated the stock with a "buy" rating.

Of six analysts who have launched coverage of Snap, four recommend selling and two have neutral ratings.
