So far its oversubscribed 2.5x according to someone on Yahoo..so take that for what its worth Question #2: Window dressing is for stocks that have done great all year and they want to show it on their holdings.... DBCC hasnt had a "great year" or its not a name stock that a MF manager would care to have on its listings for those reasons #3 Well I bought DBCC Jan 10 for 1.1875 about 2 weeks ago when the stock was 8. I added that same contract for $3 and 4.1875 and 4.375 along the way. Today it trades in the 7s Id recommend the Jan 12.5 or 15 depending on your money. They carry the most risk because they expire the 3rd Friday in January but its a moot point because the IPO is the 3rd week of jan and you want to be out of DBCC by then as people will short DBCC as MKTW rises. If your bullish longer term DBCC because u think MKTW will take off in the next few months then I'd buy the June options... But right now Im just looking at the short term so thats why I bought the Jan options
