ET IPO Guidelines - 50 shares, max price, think about flipping 1) I recommend only asking for 50 shares max per account. If you ask for and get 2000 shares you can bet noone else wants the stock and it is a dud and will drop very quickly. 2) You want an issue that prices at the top of its range not the bottom. A strong pricing signals strong demand and likely aftermarket appreciation. Asking for a stock at the bottom of the range is only asking for trouble. 3) Don't be afraid to flip. Remember a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Many IPO break the IPO price in the first 30 days. If you have multiple accounts you still could get shares in others later anyway. Any thoughts / comments ?
