(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan) Anyone wanting to invest in the company that owns Snapchat will have an opportunity to do something that early investors were unable to do: buy shares for less than they cost on the first day of trading three days ago.
After tumbling 12 percent Monday, shares of Snap Inc. fell another 5 percent before the opening bell Tuesday, to $22.53.
Snap priced its initial public offering of 200 million shares at $17 each. Shares opened at $24 apiece Thursday and jumped 44 percent on its first trading day.
