You may find information on pending IPOs at sites such as Hoover’s IPO Central

(www.hoovers.com/global/ipoc) or IPO Monitor (www.ipomonitor.com). Go to a calendar of new offerings and select a company that just went public or is just about to go public. Did the price of the stock increase by more than 10 percent after one day, one week, or one month? If no stocks were going public when you visited the site, what may explain the inactivity?
