The train is leaving, all aboard....
The Habit Restaurants (HABT) IPO will open next week and i'm expecting this stock to be red hot. Habit Restaurants (HABT) operates a fast casual Hamburger chain in 4 states, mainly in California. HABT stock will be hot because they are only releasing 5 million float shares before the lock up expiration in six months. This means low supply/high demand which will create wild price swings, great for trading.
