If Google insiders sell, should you buy? cbs.marketwatch.com Herb Greenberg: Could it be that Google's innovative auction process for its IPO is really a veiled way for insiders to cash out on the deal?

The S-1 basically describes a Dutch auction. If John Q. Public bids a higher price than Fidelity, John Q. Public gets filled first.

bcrafty, a dutch auction sells all allotted shares at the highest possible bid price... not the absolute highest bid price... meaning, if 1MM shares are allocated for the Dutch auction, all bids will be tabulated and the price that ensures that all 1MM shares are sold becomes the clearing bid price... in this case, there will be higher bids than the clearing bid, and they will get filled at the clearing bid... the bids lower than the clearing bid will not get filled... hope that clarifies it somewhat... regards amein
