Not an IPO, but the purchase price paid by Yahoo for Broadcast.com to Cuban was in the stratosphere of ridiculousness. Even then a simpleton would have asked what management was thinking. I never have understood why retail investors feel a need to get in on a hot IPO as history illustrates a fleecing is usually commencing.

Most retail investors have no idea the percentage of IPOs that end up being unsuccessful. People see that Groupon and LinkedIn had huge pops in their IPOs and figure that every single tech company will have a similar IPO.
