Is there a good way to follow companies that have announced plans to IPO so that you can buy initial shares besides a Google alert?

- gamblor956 6y agoIf you don't have a relationship with the IPO's underwriter, you're not buying IPO shares. You're buying shares from the people who bought IPO shares.
- qeternity 6y agoThis is absolutely untrue. Most legacy brokerages (Fidelity et al) will allow you to place orders for IPO shares. It's highly likely you won't get much and possibly none as the hot ones are often very oversubscribed, but it's very possible. Call your rep and ask.

- pembrook 6y agoMy gut feeling after seeing this question on HN and watching how crazy robinhood users are getting over IPOs, makes me very scared for future returns. It seems we’re sufficiently far enough into the future that the the largest cohort of investors is too young to remember the late 90s. And this doesn’t have to end in a crash. Could just be a decade of lost returns going forward as we’ve pulled all the gains from the future into the present.
