Investor's Perspective on IPOs, March 4, 2001
This review is from: Inside IPO's: The Secrets to Investing in Today's Newest Companies (Hardcover)
IPOs bring clear advantages to companies--notably, access to capital without having to make future interest payments! And IPOs also bring value to institutional investors in search of new ways to diversify their portfolios. But what advantages do IPOs bring to individual investors, who have only limited investment funds? Why should I, as an investor, buy into a company's IPO, rather than buying into a stock that has already been trading on the market? How can I tell the quality of a particular IPO offering? What brokerage houses are sources for IPO purchases? How do they compare? What about buying into IPOs through mutual funds--how does that differ from a direct IPO purchase? This book answers all these questions in plain English with plenty of solid, current detail.
