I didn't know that Schwab was underwriting Perot ... is it
on Schwab's web site somewhere that I missed?

David et al,

Re: Flipping IPO shares

Don't know why ANYONE would consider flipping an IPO when it might put them on the s**t list and prevent them from getting any shares on future IPO's for awhile.

I've participated in the following with Schwab:

INSP - IPO'd at 15 and just sold today at 62
ALLR - IPO'd at 20 and trading at 54 1/4 now
ETM - IPO'd at 22 1/2 and trading at 28 15/16 now
PER - IPO'd at 16 TODAY and trading at 41 now

IF I would have flipped the INSP IPO, just look at all of the profits that I would have missed. I try to work it out so one IPO pays for the other; meaning I sold INSP today to pay for my PER. I've never seen such easy, risk-free money making opportunity ever.

Happy Investing
