Just bought 15 shares of Linkden



LOL, I wouldn't have bought that now.

Merrill Lynch was an underwriter for the IPO and my father tried to buy a shitload (all assets and such are all through ML), but his wife is also employed by Merrill which shut him out from the deal. Buh bye easy double your money. Sucks.

Wrong mindset.
You should only reach the point of investing in a company after you've scrutinised the fundamentals and made a decision on its future, it isn't like split testing at all.

No it is like split testing. He's split testing between the retarded way to invest in stocks and the non retarded way. However apparently he's only started with the retarded way part.

Couldn't you have purchased for him???
 
For IPO's like linkedin you cant get in early unless you are considered a High Net worth account with the underwriters i.e. Goldman Sachs. For example "Retail buyers" the ones buying through a scottstrade couldn't get linkedin shares until it opened @ 80 dollars a share. With Yandex IPO is presold at $20-$22 a share. But when the market open with the frenzy of linkedin, I'm guessing Yandex will open above $50 a share.

Damn You!

I saw the title and I was going to make this!
 
Right decision. Nevermind the 100 PE.. Wait will Microsoft or Google buys it for 50 Billion. That is when you sell. It is not being priced on Earnings, but the future acquirability by bigger fools.

low-tier "investment bankers" don't exactly know "how" to make money, they just do what their bosses tell them to and collect a paycheck. basically used car salesmen... except most probably aren't even that entrepreneurial.
