Opxt Ipo

T

topdown

O.K. - Here's the deal. It looks like I got in on this IPO, which is my first IPO experience before actual trading anyway. My broker has a requirement that if I sell within 30 days, that would in effect put me "on restriction" for 90 days for participating in further IPOs.

I have day-traded IPOs in the past and it seems the quality ones (which is how I think of OPXT) usually open up HUGELY above the offering, but then often fade from the first day's opening trade (see FIG recently).

I guess what I'm looking for is how other folks view the risk / reward of selling within the first 30 days vs loosing potential profits if it does indeed fade. I also wonder that if every broker has this restriction, who the hell is selling? Thanks for any input.
 
topdown you dog! You know stoney is looking for some of that! I requested yesterday? Have not heard back...
Am I too late? What is the Filing Date and go live date?

Listen these 90 day restrictions are a big pain in the ass I'm just off one (I think) it's so damn confusing and immediately they begin warning you again about flipping. It's as if i can no longer use funds from sales that day to buy stuff EVER again. My 90 days are up but i'm still fearful that if I daytrade with unsettled funds they will blast me again. And let me tell you that 90 days seems like an eternity! I think it's 90 business days!!!

That being said it's your first IPO F em' if you want to flip flip.

The IPO is IDENTICAL to Optium (OPTM) which came public at $17.50 and went up 43%!!!

OPXT is actually priced better! It will be priced at 2.5 X enterprise value vs 3.5 for Optium and it's PE will be around 18 vs 24 for Optium. So this IPO is going to rock- good job getting some! I hope i hear back today about myself!

Do let me know about when this is going to trade!

Actually I guess I am not yet sure if I got in or not. It was priced last night at $15 and I affirmed my offer to purchase. Right now the broker says "Allocation in Progress".

I really don't know when it will actually start trading. I am assuming today or tomorrow?
 
Well I just heard from my hedge fund who got SHUT out by GS on this!!!!!

I told them if they can get $18 or $19 to buy if not
forget about it!!!

I'm preying you get some...
 
LOL - I just checked again, and i got allocated a whopping 100 shares (I requested 700). Is this common? Is there a relationship to requested quantity vs. allocated? ie. If I had asked for 2000, would I have maybe received 200 or 300?

I assume most shares must go to the heavy hitters.
 
I'm getting a nasty flashback to GOOGLE when they told me I had bid correctly for 80 shares at around $80 dollars and I told them... Take a walk! Of course those 80 shares> I could practically retire on now!

I think yes Normally if you bid a higher amount you will receive a higher fractional amount but in this case 100 shares was all you were going to get-- too hot a IPO.
 
Ancient Chinese saying regarding IPO market...
