I subscribe to a few email as well as bank/brokerage email IPO notifications , the good ones are always sold out by the time it even reaches my email.There are many IPO's that are available to retail investors. I use TD's Webbroker which has a New Issue feature that works extremely well. You can ask for e-mail notification when a new issue is posted. The problem is that you have to react immediately as quality issues often close within half an hour of the e-mail going out.
As the financial markets thaw out, there is a going to be a flood of new issues, as many companies are cash strapped. My problem is being able to evaluate a new issue properly within the few minutes that it is open.
A better question might be why you think IPOs are good investments? Being a typical amateur investor you will not have access to the most promising positions, and as a result you will more likely be worse off not better. What you should be doing now is exploring your idea further to see if it is practical. Just an FYI.http://ipo.investcom.com/ is totally useless as far as I can see. For example, Brookfield Asset Managament completed an IPO of Preferreds June 4, but it is not shown anywhere on the site. Same for IPL.UN which came out 2 weeks ago and closes on June 18. Epcor is coming to market, but a search by name does not yield anything, although the press release from May is shown in a splashbox on the front page.
