Never Buy an IPO

InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest Dec 22, 2024 - 06:23 PM GMT

Here's a reminder of why you should never buy IPO's. not worth the risk. IPO's are accompanied with a huge amount of sales and marketing hype so that the insiders can offload their shares to retail crowd at an inflated valuation where the figures in the financial statements tend to be pure fantasy conjured out of thin air by the merchant banks.

It's always best to leave a stock for at least a couple of years to settle down and show it's true colours, the nearer one buys to an IPO the more likely one is to suffer huge draw downs that could become permanent.
