Problem is agile with its price of 21 will probably open near 40 and leave no good daytrading opportunity.

>>>P.S. Maybe I'm off here but does it seem IPO's that don't hit Wit or Etrade have a better chance without all the little flippers.<<< If a pattern can be determined here, perhaps we should have a Monday list that indicates which IPOs are likely to be devoid of flippers. Without flippers who got in at the underwriter's price that means the first wave of selling pressure will come from those who got in close to the opening bid. If it is true that IPOs without E-Trade and Wit participants do better, knowing this could prove helpful. Personally, I'm too much of a scatter-brain to track this and, also, I don't have a Wit or E-trade account. Perhaps someone who has both a Wit and E-trade account could alert us to this information if it's determined that your theory holds true. So let's keep an eye toward that trend. Great observation, Ken!
