An initial public offering or IPO, is the first sale of stock by a company as it goes public. Initial public offerings often have a turbulent start on the stock market. Stakeholders often sell a portion of their shares to recoup their investment during the first weeks and months the stock begins trading. We advise investors to watch IPOs carefully before investing. Another phenomenon that investors should know about is initial public offerings receive an excessive amount of hype from what we call the “broker/media limelight.” This can cause expectations to be raised to often unrealistic heights-and the fall from those heights can be swift. Even with attractive new issues, it's best to stay out of them. If a new issue has genuine long-term investment appeal, it will be an attractive buy for months or years after it reaches the market. After six months to a year, check back to see how new initial public offerings have performed. You may be surprised at what you find. This would be the time to re-evaluate the stock to see if it has a place in your portfolio. Some investment observations are so basic and indisputable that in our opinion they deserve to be referred to as “laws”. One good example is what we call “McKeough's Law on IPO Timing,” which is this: IPOs come to market when it's a good time for the company and/or its insiders to sell, but that's not necessarily a good time for you to buy. Control your stock trading risk by following TSI Network and using our three-part Successful Investor strategy: 1. Invest mainly in well-established companies; 2. Spread your money out across most if not all of the five main economic sectors (Manufacturing & Industry; Resources & Commodities; the Consumer sector; Finance; Utilities); 3. Downplay or avoid stocks in the broker/media limelight. Most investors who successfully build wealth over the long term follow certain investing practices. Find out what they are in our FREE investing guide, The 10 Best Practices of Successful Investors.
