I like DuckTruck's idea... a lot......
In fact I think I would be inclined to put a bit more into "anticipatory escrow" holding than I might otherwise invest. I think there is some weird psychological thing going on in my head where I would readily commit if I was guaranteed to get in with IPO shares/prices.
I am a relatively small (and naïve) investor and not sure I would be able to get into the IPO any other way. Waiting for the IPO to happen and then buying on the exchange would put me in a position to invest with "too much" information. If the price made immediate gains I would be disappointed that I missed out on the "IPO" and feel the upside was now just a bit diminished. And if the price fell some after the initial hype and was trading cheaper I would be concerned that maybe I should wait until it hits bottom. I know both of the thoughts have been proved to be invalid multiple times in history, but that is how my mind works. I am an emotional investor.
That being said I am also a bit of a "collector", once I do commit to a purchase I generally hang on for a long time (sometimes too long) so once I committed to the mythical "pre-order holder advanced IPO reservation via escrow" scheme I would be in for the long haul and am generally less concerned about short term performance.
RJ and crew if you are reading this (I really do hope you guys peruse these threads because there are often good points made) I will commit to writing two identical checks when I finalize my order in a few months. One for the purchase of the vehicle and a equivalent amount toward an IPO stock purchase. Call me!
