From CBS Marketwatch Some first-half stats Goldman Sachs [: gs] led all underwriters in IPO activity for the first half of the year, acting as the lead manager in 22 deals raising $8 billion in proceeds. Nearly half of that total came from Goldman's own $3.6 billion offering. However, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's (MDW: news, msgs) 21 offerings performed significantly better than Goldman's, rising 206 percent on average compared to a 96 percent average return

We did indeed miss on those 2 eDollar... ...and we need to figure out why. Our record is still stellar compared to the experts, but I do hate missing out on really cheap stocks that move like MAIL and STMP. And I have a theory of another factor that applies to both of those. Call me silly, but I think it's as blatantly simple as their NAME. Mail.com. Stamps.com. They're just great sounding internet names that are "sticky." I'm not suggesting that name alone will carry a stock, of course, but rather that the name should be one of the analysis criteria.
