Mr.Proofsheet - depends on the industry and company. I believe fund managers were buying Amazon.com, AOL, YHOO, etc. before they started showing profits.

Not sure I agree with your thoughts. Lots of companies lose money and still receive institutional support. When was the last time AMD made a profit, if ever? What about Yahoo, Excite and the internet stocks? These guys have had their stocks soar this year with everyone, including the mutuals that hold a position in them, betting on the future, not what their current financial statements show.

From past experience many mutual funds will not buy into a company until the company has positive earnings.

Hmmm. Then there shouldn't be any Biotech mutual funds!

Many funds may wait for the first earnings report after the IPO to jumpin.
