Alexa asks:

I’ve always thought IPO are fully underwritting (underwritten mean fully insured to raise to whole amount). However, why did AIM listed: Foamasters only managed to raise $2.7m of of the proposed $38m in Dec 07?

Or are IPO not gauranteed by the underwritters?

Thanks

RPL made an offering in May 2006 for 20% of its’ equity represented by 90 crore shares. This offering was the most successful IPO until then with overall demand exceeding USD 32 billion.

The sale of RPL shares was conducted by transactions through the Stock Exchanges and has helped to further broad base the shareholding pattern of RPL. The number of shareholders of RPL has increased from 12 lac shareholders at the time of IPO to 16 lac.

Shelia asks:

would it be a smart way to buy VISA IPO on it’s first day first thing in the morning and sell 75% of your share at the end of day or next day or whenever it reached 25-30% gain?

then wait for pullback and buy more shares on its way down?
can someone also answer this question regarding websites that track shorts and put options?
