These are the winning IPOs-- biz.yahoo.com On their first day of trading investors bid these shares up to more than 10 times their IPO price. What made these IPOs so compelling? They had many of the following exceptional characteristics. Now you decide whether or not this IPO has what is takes to be a winner, too: * Does this company have a unique business model, product, or service? YES=1 NO=0 * Is this company the "first-mover" in its market niche and its competitors face significant barriers to enter its market? YES=1 NO=0 * Does this company have strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base? YES=1 NO=0 * Is this company run by a strong management team with prior successful public venture experience? YES=1 NO=0 * Does this company operate in a rapidly expanding market niche? YES=1 NO=0 * Was this company backed early on by leading venture capital firms? YES=1 NO=0 * Is the float relatively small (3-5 million shares)? YES=1 NO=0 * Is the IPO price range relatively low ($10)? YES=1 NO=0 * Is this company being underwritten by at least one of the three best-performing lead underwriters--Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs? YES=1 NO=0 (These brokers are very careful in choosing the companies they underwrite because they need to protect their long-established reputation for offering quality IPOs and quality investments. If this IPO passes muster with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Merrill Lynch, or Goldman Sachs, it's usually a good deal.) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Taking these 9 criteria into account, how does this IPO stack up?
