I'm not going to disagree with you that there are bad things that go on with IPO allocations. But I think you misunderstand - I'm not saying investment banks are required to underprice IPO's to get them fully subscribed, but clearly they need to avoid over pricing the shares if they expect to keep selling them. I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the process if you believe that Morgan could consistently over price new offerings and subsequently see them fail/go under water and yet still be able to keep selling these over priced issuances to their clients and institutions.
- michaelochurch 15y agoI think they should fairly price the IPO, not overprice it.
- RickHull 15y agoYou are looking at the market price today. Morgan Stanley's consideration is the market price in the future. I believe the market price today is overvalued, and it will come down in the future.
