I've been out of the market since shortly before the crash. We knew people who got in early - some winners, some losers - but never pursued it ourselves.
You've got it........you need to deposit a whole load of moolah, or give the appearance of being someone who MIGHT deposit a whole lot of moolah to get shares.

Most IPO's don't trade that wildly right off the bat anymore. You might just as well buy them in the open market.
