John, the IPO monitor site gives the ability to search by date and sector. I searched March to April 1998 in cyclical and basic materials sectors to get this short list(my pasting of the Yahoo link doesn't look right): CIX INRB FRIZ OME ROLL The one year charts don't look good. In the tech sector: ASPC BRCM SYS CRGN EXDS XTND ISSX MOBI ONX PCCC SFO SRDX The techs are mixed with some real bombs intermixed with a few darlings. The hypothesis I'd like to check out is: "If the stock is trading below its offering price 1 month after IPO, what is the chance it will continue down over the next 12 months?" Will work on that over the next week and get back. Ocote
