IPO Underpricing
Having heard about IPO underpricing, I put in an order to my broker for 1,000 shares of every IPO he can get for me. After three months, my investment record is as follows (see attachment for investment record).

C) Why have I performed so poorly relative to the average initial return on the full sample of IPOs? What lessons do you draw from my experience?
