>>The shares will be sold directly by the company to the Secondary Public Offering subscribers and will not show up in market volume.<<

Irrespective of who buys from the secondary, the trades always show up as part of the daily market transaction.

>>We'll have to see the size of the discount to market that the subscribers get. If it's very big then there's the urge to flip the shares for a quick profit.<<

The Secondary offering price is always very close to the prevailing market price on the day of the Secondary's execution. The company does not wish to antagonize existing shareholders!

That has been my experience in all the Secondary offerings that I have come across.

Does anybody have a contradictory experience(s)?
