Info, Steve's post and my posts agree completely. There is nothing contradictory among them. I'm not likely going to explain it in detail again. And additionally, in the recent edition of the "Risk Magazine", there is a nice article about "managing the IPO risk". Shorting stock in higher trading IPOs by the houses is cited, along with the statement that the underwriter's option (the greenshoe) provides some additional... Again this is exactly what I have stated time and time again, you just seem to fail to see the subtle differences. On this thread I believe that I referred to what generally is the story during the first 30 days after IPO for retail accounts. Nothing in the selection from Risk Magazine that you posted contradicts what I have stated. I agree with what what you posted from Risk Magazine, It is virtually a direct quote from my posting over the years... I will look for the magazine, I never heard of it, but it sounds like it would be an interesting read. Regards your closing statement:- For your information all stocks do NOT come to market as fully marginable, but virtually ALL stocks may be hypothecated.
