IPO or Initial Public Offer
presents good opportunities
for netting high returns on
your investments in a relatively
short period of time, provided
you invest early
What is an IPO ?
A company's first sale of stock
to the public. Securities offered
in an IPO are often, but not
always, those of young, small
companies seeking outside equity
capital and a public market
for their stock. Investors purchasing
stock in IPOs generally must
be prepared to accept very large
risks for the possibility of
large gains. IPO's by investment
companies (closed end funds)
usually contain underwriting
fees which represent a load
to buyers
