Ocote, from the list you posted, it looks like the small cap IPOs have gone bust while the big caps have boomed. Good thought, John. I'll do a little more research and get back to you. Got to do my real job now. Ocote

John, you said: ...it looks like the small cap IPOs have gone bust while the big caps have boomed. While I'm constrained from posting copyrighted data, here are some distilled results from the ipomonitor site according to market cap. Starting with all IPOs Jan to April 1998, how do they fare by 12/31/98? Cap($MM) Performance (n = 150) >1000 118.32% 500 to 1000 108.91% 250 to 500 41.60% 100 to 250 7.12% 50 to 100 -21.09% 25 to 50 -32.59% < 25 -45.64% Your instincts are right on, John. Next question, what are the other predictive criteria?...to be continued. Ocote
