We have two IPOs which have come out of the gate with some strength today.  One is a prototype design firm for manufacturing and design and one is a social media metrics company.

PROTO LABS, INC. (NYSE: PRLB) priced at $16.00 per share for 4.3 million shares and that was above the projected price range of $13.00 to $14.00 per share.  We now have shares up above $27.00 on over 3.1 million shares after a $25.00 opening bell price.

Bazaarvoice Inc. (NASDAQ: BV) priced some 9.48 million shares at $12.00 per share, which was also above the projected $8.00 to $10.00 price range.  We now have shares up at $16.05 on more than 3.3 million shares traded.

It is a safe assumption that the overallotment (greenshoe) options are being exercised on both of these.
