I was amused,annoyed and angered when I read two recent Press Articles on IPOs…both featured in the Financial Express
The First stated how SEBI is planning to bring back Retail Investors to IPOs by reducing listing day from 15 to three ! Sebi to help bring small investors back to IPOs … So now small investors can die earlier !…..what about the Quality of Companies,rather the lack of it !?….Bring back the Controller of Capital Issues,I say !
The Second article was an interview of the Chairman of the Association of Merchant Bankers,Mr Sanjay Sharma.He is the Head of Equities at Deutsche Equities,India … Blame market, not pricing, for IPO woes he asserts !…Good Lord !…by his logic Aster Silicates and Tirupati Inks which have eroded over 85% (see List Below) should now be viewed as Potential Multibaggers and not Multishredders !
110 IPOs have come in 2010 and 2011….There has been an erosion in the Share Price from the IPO Price in three out of four issues with 84 Scrips quoting in the Red
Have a look at the TOP TEN IPO LOSERS List below…Price Erosion is from 82% to 89%….All issues ,except D B Realty, has seen strong Retail participation with high levels of oversubscription….allottees have been stripped violently and have been left with just some money to catch the bus home !
Now with SEBI trying to reduce the Listing Day to just Three Days from the Date of IPO Close,retail investors can hope to die quicker….It’s a Game where the Winner is the one who has lost the most in the shortest possible time too in many cases !
