This is great. As a longer-term investor (only selling each stock after a year, for tax reasons), a graph I'd like to see is simply the weekly prices of each stock in it's first year or two, with all the stocks overlaid as a single line on the chart, as a percent of the price at the end of the first day. Naturally, the eye will see if there's a pattern. You could color-code it by industry, or year or month issued (do Sept IPOs do better than Feb?), or even price quadrant (do more expensive share prices yield better percentage returns?)
I think there's a way to present this as an interactive graph that allow users to adjust the variables, like which price is 100% (investor price or retail price), which industries to include, which price points to show, what years to show, which months to show, etc.
Loved this analysis. Confirmed what I thought was the case. IPO's are great if you are an insider, not so much for the rest of us. Big surprise, huh?
Really appreciate the effort you put in these reports. Just wanted to say thank you and that I throughly enjoy them!
