Alien, the trick is to have a parent company owning say 85% of the impending IPO and then watch it run up like mad few days before the IPO date. Preferably, you may want to pre-announce the IPO date several times leading up to the date; for instance, every time you need a new sports car or a professional sports team etc. Then on the date of the IPO go long the IPO and short the daylights out of the parent company. Of course I am not sure how this is all viable within the framework of SEC rules. Just a thought from your new company mail-boy!
