I agree, IPOs are not what they used to be... I think that a lot of recent IPOs were not mature enough when they went public. IPOs that were deep in the red and didn't have foreseeable profits were "destroyed".(i.e. BLZE and ONVI) I think in the future, IPOs that are profitable(or nearly) will perform much better over time. One example of a recent IPO that could do well is Ulticom(ULCM). They are already profitable...and they are in the wireless niche. If they show a little more growth, they could get very hot. They should be able to fully invest their IPO revenue in development. I plan to buy some when it stabilizes in a few days...as IPOs tend to bottom after about 5-10 days. I will still be taking my chances with Saba and Numerical tonight even though they are both losing a lot of money. Call me a "glutton for "punishment""...
