Ipo Diary

HELLO I would like to know from the experts whether there is ALMOST ALWAYS an INCREASE (smaller or larger) in the price of a good company's IPO share on LISTING after initial allotment so that an investor can make some gain right on listing at which point he can also decide to sell some or all shares out of the total he holds to make an outright secured gain(say in the case of a good IPO issued initially at a low price of 10-100 rupees per share)?This is specifically in the context of very reputed companies having very good fundamentals for eg.PSU's like MOIL etc.Is this a good strategy?
not always. depends on overall sentiment and geopolitical situation also.
PSB is available at a price lower than IPO price.

Also is it possible to invest more than 2 lakhs in a single IPO for a single investor if one wants and how this can be done?
u can invest as much u want, but remember if u invest more than 2 lakh per application, u shall have to choose the option as HNI and not the retail;
else your application shall be rejected.
HNI's are not entitled to get 5% discount in PSU IPO/FPO's.

What is the method to follow if an investor wants to invest say 8 or 10 lakhs in a single IPO BEFORE ITS LISTING in which he has good confidence?
As an HNi u can invest it but for retail u have to divide the amount in 4-5 parts, and put 4-5 retail application in the name of your family members,with a cap of 2 lakh on each application.

And what are the chances of getting the number of IPO shares one wants in the initial allotment which I think is by computerised lottery to each investor? Suppose one gets lesser than the number he wants in the computerised lottery,is there any way of getting more shares as one wants through any other method before the LISTING?
that depends on the total subscription and your luck only.
