6 IPOs Every Investor Should Know About

Remember when IPOs were all the rage on Wall Street. You couldn't get through a cocktail party without somebody telling you how they got some stock on the ground floor.

But times have changed.

In the aftermath of the Wall Street crisis, IPOs have dried up considerably. That is, until now.

For the first time since October 2007, we’re seeing 6 IPOs in one week. They follow:

MaxLinear                            Semiconductor company
Calix Networks                      Broadband-access equipment maker
First Interstate BancSystem    Regional Bank
China Lodging Group              Shanghai hotel chain
Redgate Media Group             Chinese advertising firm
Alma Maritime                       Ocean shipper

What must you know about these IPOs?

According to the Wall Street Journal the most-talked-about deal is MaxLinear which will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MXL. CNBC’s Bob Pisani says the MaxLinear IPO is over-subscribed and that it should price Tuesday night.

The Journal also says Calix Networks is generating a lot of buzz, though it’s never been profitable. It will trade on the NYSE through a listing under the symbol CALX. Much like MaxLiner, this stock is also said to be over-subscribed and expected to price Tuesday night, adds Pisani.

What's the trade?
If you're looking for a trade I think it all plays to Goldman , Morgan, BofA and any other company that benefits from bringing these stocks to market, counsels Pete Najarian.
