Is the IPO Madness Back?

When Facebook finally hit the market last year, the uneducated press assumed we were shifting back to the 90’s and that the IPO would make early holders of the stock and insiders rich. Nothing could have been further from the truth as shares of Facebook fell flat.

Last Friday SeaWorld Entertainment ($SEAS) officially went public with the IPO priced at $27 per share. The stock trended non stop all day and closed at $34. It gave $SEAS over 3 billion in market cap bringing back memories of the golden days in stock offerings.

Huge runners recently include $FWM, $XONE, and $NCLH. These stocks ran up as much as 40% on the opening day and created great opportunities for traders.

The bull market will always bring on a flurry of IPO’s so be on the eye out for the next big runner!
