GMP falling before listing isn’t always a bad sign, but it does show weak listing-day sentiment. I’m still holding my allotment to see how the market reacts.

I applied for JSW Cement IPO mainly for long-term holding, but seeing GMP slip just before listing makes me a bit cautious. Hoping the fundamentals still carry it upward after debut.
