Does this IPO have the potential to pop on the first day and/or to maintain a longer-term premium over its IPO price?

Do you think it might be better to completely avoid this IPO or, at best, to try to buy it in the aftermarket below the IPO price?

Here are some criteria for differentiating between first-tier and second-tier IPOs:

1. Who is the lead underwriter? How do it's IPOs perform in the after-market?
2. Is the IPO-ing company the "first-mover" in its market niche?
3. Does the company operate in a rapidly growing or hyped-up market niche (e.g., dsl in 1999)?
4. What is the potential profitability of its market niche?
5. Has the company demonstrated substantial year-over-year revenue growth?
6. Does the company have brand name awareness?
7. For inet companies - is this a pure internet play (a real dot.com company)?
8. Are its product(s) or service(s) well-known by the online community?
9. Who are the company's competitors?
10. Has the the company's management been successful in previous ventures?
11. Does management have "star" appeal (e.g. TSCM's Cramer)?
