SHANGHAI: Although 81-year-old Wan Mingshun lost a bundle in the rush for new shares at the tail end of the 2007 boom, he is confident that his luck will change the second time round.

Chinese investors have a love-hate relationship with IPOs. When the market was on the boil, IPOs are widely seen as a sure-win bet that promises multiple returns. Indeed, they did before the 2008 stock market crash. When the market began to fall in late 2007, IPOs were seen as the major reason for draining market liquidity.
