IPOs: The Mechanics & Performance of Initial Public Offerings : How to Profit from Initial Public Offerings

Bok av Arif Khurshed
One of the biggest casualties of the aftermath of the dot com bubble was the IPO market. The early part of this century saw minimal IPO activity all over the world especially in western stock markets such as those of the UK and the US. However, for the last two or three years both firms considering an IPO and potential investors in those firms are back in business. 'The Investor's Guide to IPOs' is primarily written to benefit investors who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of the IPO market and to profit from investing in this market. The main aim of the book is to provide information on some fundamental questions related to investment in IPO markets such as how to pick up a good IPO investment and when is a good time to sell IPO shares. The book not only covers issues such as how to make an investment in the IPO market, it also throws light on what happens once an investment has been made.
