Stock lessons: IPOs »

First let’s mark Oct 14 2009: Dow 10,000 2.0 (Yahoo Tech-ticker video below) (did you notice the Yahoo ~~~ in the end, Yahoo became more goofy under Carol) My topic today is IPO. I have not got much luck from IPO investing (to be more precise, speculating). My lessons are the following:

Mistras IPO looks interesting »

(Update 22Oct09) SEC filing 424B4. (Original) I talked about Mistras (NYSE:MG) IPO briefly the other day. Today I read this “MatlinPatterson Global Sells $3M Worth of Huntsman“.

IPO: It’s Probably Overpriced »

That’s not my observation, that’s what Graham, the value investing guru, said in his book “Intelligent Investor”. I think this is especially true in the current IPO market. Two large recent IPOs, Shanda Games (Nasdaq:GAME) and Banco Santander Brasil S.A. (BSBR, SANB11.BR), showed exactly that. Both traded lower the first day it went public. I [...]

Short First Solar FSLR? »

Barrons has an article on solar plays, specifically it mentioned First Solar recent China project may not hold water. Interesting observation. I don’t know all the facts, but being curious, I listed some stuff here.

Stock lessons 2009: buy high, sell low »

That’s exactly how I did with Shanda Games (Nasdaq:GAME) IPO today. Shanda is not new to me. I lost money on this one three years ago (see my old stock lesson here). I am not bitter about losing money either. Because after about 5 (6) years in US stock market, especially the roller coaster ride [...]

Emdeon: reading its IPO prospectus »

(Update 16Sept09) Brean Murry is out with a selling rating with Emdeon (source: StreetInsider).
