Lock ups. Are you thinking of playing them for shorts? This is from an IPO glossary. The lead underwriter restricts insiders from selling their shares for a period of time - usually 180 days. However, the lead underwriter has the option of lifting the lock-up period earlier. Knowledgeable investors track the termination of lock up periods, knowing that stocks may weaken at about the six month mark. I gave a quick look at a few stocks with the lock ups ending last week. Seems like the 3 month from lock up gave a little more consistent downturn. Just a cursory glance, nothing to take to the bank. I take it shares flood the market after lockup too...doesn't seem to create the anticipated downturn then...already written in? It's something I've been meaning to check a little more closely. Have not had the time...meaning I'm way too lazy. lol Stan
