    Why the anti-American sentiment? You must not be in the US and you must not provide a copy of the prospectus to anybody in the US!

    I'd say it's more likely to do with America being anti-American. Probably has something to do with FACTA

    Should be a good IPO. Will be interesting to see what sort of issue price. I'm guessing $3.20

    I haven't seen an IPO that open directly to overseas investors.

    Americans need the permission of their government, so that govt can include and force those companies to submit to them, if the companies want to ask money from one of their slaves.

    Americans has been more and more isolated before their people come to realised it.
    No bank account can be open by American Citizens in many countries nowadays.
    No Alibaba :p too bad.

    etc :(

    If it comes in closer to the $2 mark I'll wait for the first decent pullback which will probably happen on the second day of trading

    How do you work out an estimated price?

    It's comes down mostly to the demand for the shares. Given the media coverage for the IPO and the size of the company demand will be high and most likely oversubscribed which will lead to a higher debut price. The timing of the IPO will play a role as well. It's not uncommon for an IPO to be delayed until better market conditions give it a higher price. Just guessing but I would think it would be closer to or even higher than $2 rather than the $1.55 mark which would give it a P/E ratio of about 21. Too high for my liking

    I'm actually thinking it is still good value at $2 a share.
    In fact, I'd go as far as to say that I think that baring a big market drop between now and listing, there is a fair chance the insto's are going to price this above the $2 mark, (say $2.10) retail holders still pay $2.00.
    Then a stag profit on day 1 of around 30 cents for some lucky retail holders (Based on my brief read of the IPO numbers and some back of envelope calcs)

    I'm not a financial advisor.. yada yada..!

    Key factors used to estimate price: R.O.E. / NIB trading $ & ratios / earnings per share / my own fudge factors

    I'm waiting until it floats. Not knowing the exact price is enough for me to give it a miss. I'm convinced it will float around the $2.00 mark
