  • DC, if you watch the first day price on many IPO, you will see that the price may go as high as 4 times the IPO price. After that, it slowly dwindling down back to IPO price or even lower. So why wait.

    This is of course does not include big IPO such as PCHEM or MHE.

  • my prediction is sell immediately on the first day if you manage to get the IPO at 1.25. Price will goes up on the first day but not consistenly ups and it’s on downward trend. If you were to hold this stock after few more days, price are likely to bounce back below the IPO price.cheers.
