Peter B...IPO's

I am new at this too, but here goes.

New IPO's cannot be rated by analysts until 25 days after the IPO date. This time is referred to as the "quiet period". After this date, analysts may give them a rating. If the co. has good management, earnings, ect. the chances are some analyst will give a buy or accumulate rating. Therefore, being in the stock prior to this date may give you the opportunity to sit back and enjoy the ride. Some of the recent IPO's have spiked at this time...EPAY, VERT, INSP for examples.

Hope this helps...MMK

During the quiet period, the company can't make news announcements either, giving the prospectus a chance to get around and digested. This gives time to disseminate information about the company's recent listing. During this time, management works on good news needed to attract buying, which is released after the expiration of the quiet period.
