IMO, some are flips, and some are not. It depends on many things, including but not limited to: sector, market cap, float, growth rate, major shareholders, IPO ratings, and initial first day pop %. Some, I wish I didn't flip, like TLXS, I could have sold it much higher after 30 days. But, everyone has to do their own thing. When I first started getting IPO shares, I held the bag on all of them, never again. Generally, If I get something that pops 200%, I'm gone.

E*trader, don't worry about it, they will bounce, they always do, when the time is right, IMO.

dude, try to open up another account with some other company so that you can short them to lock in profit when the shares are available ... I learn a very painful lesson myself, dude ...

till today, if I sell all the IPOs, I will sent 11 accounts to jail, losing both, the premium first day and any potential for any real hot IPO and potential for getting Mr Etrade attention and closing all my extra accounts like what had happened with some The first day premium is already gone whether you sell now or not. Basically you should ask yourself this: do I want to hold these stocks at the current price? Risking money by holding on to stocks you thing are dogs just to have a chance at a big return isn't investing, it's gambling.
