However, despite the clamor for new issues, the plain fact of the matter is that they're highly risky investments. Using data from Renaissance Capital, a supplier of IPO research, we looked at the 225 IPOs issued in 1998 for companies with a market cap greater than $50 million (anything less would be uncivilized).
That's a big swing for two stocks out of 225 and does not bode well for the buy and hold investor (coerced or otherwise).
While the open and the offer may feature, on average, a sixteen percent bounce, getting the offer and unloading the open is still a formidable task for the individual investor.Sign up for our free eNewsletter Dollar Stretcher Tips.
