as $45 closed at $38.23, yes, a whopping 23 cents above the initial offering price. part of the problem for the lackluster opening day was a glitch by nasdaq that caused a 30 minute delay. experts say

what have you done for me lately. it's what are you going to do for me next? that's the problem. >> he says most stocks, in fact, 60%, trade below their ipo price within three years. bottom line, be a

speeding and running red lights. in d.c. there will soon be cameras to catch drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians trying to cross the street. fox 5's matt ackland explains. >> reporter: the law is clear in d.c. if there's a crosswalk, the pedestrian has the right-of- way. but the law is often ignored. these are good examples. first watch as this woman crosses in an suv and metrobus -- and an suv and metrobus don't bother to stop. a short time later it happens again. this man enters the crosswalk, but cars keep moving. >> i did read the sign that did say that it was d.c. law that they were supposed to stop. so that kind of encouraged me to go across. i was kind of wondering how i'd get across the street with all the traffic going by. >> that's behavior that we want to stop that's very dangerous. >> reporter: many d.c. leaders support the enforcement of the crosswalk law but say before cameras are put in place the amount of the fine needs to be reviewed. >> when people get hit with the fine at $250, i mean that's quite an impact. >> the more and more we use cameras to ticket people, the more we need to reduce the size of the fines. >> reporter: we're told d.c. police plan to use eight cameras for the crosswalk enforcement. this technology will be mobile. so the cameras could pop up anywhere across the district. a good idea, most agree, the only issue, the cost of the fine. >> you cross the line and a camera catches you, $250 just for that, that's outrageous. that's not necessary. >> it should be higher, at least 500 bucks. >> we wanted to know how much this new camera enforcement program would generate for the district of columbia. well, one council member gave us a conservative estimate of $175,000 a year, but once again that's a conservative estimate. in the newsroom matt ackland, fox 5 news. demonstrators protested outside pepco shareholders meeting today in northwest d.c. the group claims nearly 50 shareholders were blocked from attending that meeting.
