(Reuters) - Rick Ornelas got into Robinhood Markets Inc's initial public offering (IPO) every way he could.

As a user of the trading app, the Houston-based author of life-coaching books applied for and received 50 Robinhood shares in its IPO. When the shares traded down more than 10% in their debut on Thursday, he doubled down by acquiring 75 more shares through Fidelity Investments, where he holds his main trading account.
