We left our old IPO list as an FYI: In 2008, we have two on watch:
GT Solar and Evotec (US Listing March/April) VISA (V) March 18th. American Water AWK (April 23)
We will here be listing some companies that we are watching and/or times
of that we find of special interest. Unless you are able to obtain your
stock pre-ipo, we think it is generally best to wait a month before buying
these days. As to IPO's the public is allowed access to, we are reminded of
WC Field's classic comment: "Why would I want to join any club that would
accept ME?"
We find the best internet source of IPO information to be IPOMonitor.com and ipohome
Blue indicates price target has been met and that we recommended buying in some portfolios.
Red indicates we have changed price target - up or down - after quarterly forecast.

SUGGESTED USE
Ideally, one buys at a value price or better, stocks with a 1 or 2 rating.
In our view, one should NOT buy price alone. For example, just because
a stock is fairly valued, if it had a 4 or 5 rating, it is best to avoid
or under-weight. However, if a stock were well below our value
price and it has a 3 or better rating, it could be a profitable trade or
good investment. Remember, unless we are your personal money manager,
ALWAYS use our ratings IN COMBINATION with your own research or those of
your financial advisor or broker.
