An IPO today is mainly a way for major investors - those that want out - to liquidate out in a big way by dumping to a very large mass of investors. There is no other means to do that without signaling a gigantic loss of confidence.

Major investors and insiders. Stay the hell away from IPOs if you're not an institution getting access to shares at a reasonable price.
