I doubt you'll find the stock marginable right now. Generally it takes 30 days.

Until that point, it will probably continue to act sort of funky. After that point, there will probably be a whole lot of volatility as the analysts and the shorts finally pile on (any analyst whose firm participated in the IPO is restricted for the first 30 days too).

At this point, I would be neither a buyer nor a seller. Most stocks don't settle in to "reality" until a bit after those 30 days are over.

No position.

Tomorrow's Barron's has a fairly comprehensive article on the A IPO
207.235.5.146
Jay Deahna, Morgan's semiconductor capital-equipment analyst was bullish, initiating coverage with an outperform and a target of $56 based on a P/E of 28 in 2001. He thought that after spin-off, A could increase revenues by about 15%, compared to 11% when part of HWP.

Sees boom in cable and telephone networks as driver of A's communications testing business, but does see new challenges due to separation from HWP.
Fair amount of coverage on A on the financial networks
207.235.5.146
Analyst coverage of HWP has also been fairly active
207.235.5.146
and there has been some coverage on A
