Re: Do you know where I could get a list of recent Schwab IPO offerings?
I don't know of a published list, but here are some Schwab IPO offerings, and the approximate percentage gains after 30 days:
Select Comfort (AIRB - not sure what 30-day gain was, sold after 60 days at +71%) InfoSpace (INSP - couldn't get in on this one, but it has done great, 30-day gain was probably at least 200%) Allaire (ALLR +146%) Entercom Communications (ETM +35%) Perot Systems (PER +153%) Korn/Ferry International (KFY - the only money-loser so far, -7%) Catapult Communications (CATT +28%) Onyx Software (ONXS +160%) Intraware (ITRA - currently up about +135%, 30 days will be 3/29/99) RoweCom (ROWE - currently up about +80%, 30 days will be 4/8/99)
One thing I've learned with Schwab IPOs is to only ask for 100 shares - don't try to get greedy. If the IPO is hot, you'll only get 100 shares anyway, no matter how many you ask for. If demand is low, as it was for KFY, you may get more than 100 shares, but you might take a loss.
Good luck, Adam |
