Should I invest in a company that’s in its IPO stage?
Leola asks:
I am being put on the “friends and family list” of a company that is set to go public in a few months. It’s a search engine company and they are asking for a minimum of 25k to invest at $9 a share. Is this a good investment?

you have to be careful… look at google when it first came out it went thru the roof. if you would have gotton in on that at its IPO then you would have really made out but somethings go up and then down the drain so to say yes or no that would depend on the company its self. look at there cash flow and there key statistics. I personally dont like IPO’s unless its a well known name. its risky but if your willing to take the risk then go for it just dont put all your money in it. use money that you dont mind losing. sometimes stocks is like gambling. good luck.
Sounds like a crowded market. What about this IPO is worth it? Just because it is a search engine? Who cares? What’s so special about it in this market that would make a profit more than another one that is already existing?
Not sure how much you can afford to lose. No matter what, I wouldn’t invest in it. You don’t want this to happen (and it happens a lot). finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=BX&t=1y
I would only do it with a proven company like if Vizio or Plutos Restaurants went public.
