good info on the greenshoe. If I understand this correctly the firm has a free trade on that is used to "support" the IPO. If the prices goes straight up (doubtful in any ipo), they can exercise and b/e on the trade due to greenshoe. IF the stock falls they can close out their 15% short...

bump anyone get anywhere with this?
