Question on IPO’s?
Dannie asks:
Ok So I am 22 and looking at getting into the stock market a little bit. What I was wondering is what price do IPO’s typically begin at when a stock is released. Perhaps there is an industry that I believe is hot and a new company in that market. What should I expect the stock to be at when it is released to the public? How should I tell whether the stock will do well or not. Just looking for info. Thanks

IPO’s are a lot of hype. You really need to know a great deal about the company before investing. IPO’s lose value rapidly in many cases. One of the safer methods is to invest in spin off company’s. Historically both the parent company and the new company beat the market.
Hi, I have been trading IPO’s for a long while now. The awser to your question is not quite so simple. There are several factors that affect where an IPO starts trading when it is released. The largest factor being demand. They set a range for the IPO to price at and depending on the demand they price it at the low or high end. The day the IPO opens people pay well above what it has been priced at if the demand continues to be high. A good site to visit is IPOhome.com. Also I have a blog that talks about what IPO’s are going to be in high demand. It isblog.360.yahoo.com/blog-IAyBTmk0f6Oe0szl1VH9tPZZH3_XbP3nuVKoSlldjw–?cq=1
