DBCC and UIHIA charts. DBCC was at 12 three weeks prior to the IPO, ramped up to 24ish the week before then sky-rocketed to 47 on the day of the IPO then straight back down to 13. Currently at 16. UIHIA started in the mid 30's three weeks prior to UPCOY's IPO, jetted up to 61 and peaked about four days prior to the IPO, came back down to 51 on the day of the IPO (where I sold) then back down to 37. Interestingly enough it is now back to 59. So what do these examples teach us? That they're all great buys three weeks or more prior to the IPO. That they all ramp up the week prior then peak somewhere between 5 days before to the day of the IPO itself. DBCC quadrupled. UIHIA (a less-known and therefore less-trusted European company) went up "only" 70% and stayed up "only" 50% the day of the IPO. Nobody knows what BKS will do but if these examples are the guide it should go up at least as much as UIHIA did. UIHIA was at approximately the same price BKS is 3 weeks prior. It hit 61 at its peak, but was easy to sell above 50 even if you missed the peak. Another good idea. After the IPO comes out wait for the steep fall then buy again if BKS comes back down to 30-34 which is probably its base.
