Marshall, what usually happens when a strong company IPOs on a bad market day, like today's? Is the trend the second day is almost like another IPO run? Isn't that what happened when KOOP IPO'd? Came in on a bad day and even the next day wasn't so rosey, but it shot up very, very high from its original pricing. Couldn't the same thing happen with NTOP?

Our trading styles are different... for now. I remember you posting that you traded on paper for 6 mo before attempting to do it for real and now you do well for yourself. Well that is kind of what I'm doing with this thread. I have never attempted to daytrade so I am observing until I feel more comfortable. In the interim I want to take a shot at some of these IPOs that have become oversold/undervalued due to market conditions. You can never be quite sure which one is going to explode shortly after it's debut- look at JWEB, WITC, MAIL, STMP to name a few. I hold many IPOs through Wit and I refuse to tarnish my account by violating the 60 day hold. But thanks to that 60 day hold I have realized much more gains then I'd've had had I sold on day one. So until I feel comfortable to daytrade these things on day one I will observe and only dive in where I feel risk is minimal.
