Douglas,

In order to get a better understanding of the price action on the price actions of IPO's I have been reading Victor Niederhoffer's The Education of a Speculator. I was surprised to learn that with the enhanced IPO markets in the mid to late 90'e that there are now specialists out there who trade IPOs. He talks about his attempt to buy IPO shares, but he had to assure them he was not a flipper. His partners told him that you had to "agree to sleep with underwriters to get a full allocation".(p 254)

Just some information that I did not know until I read this book
