Many companies try to raise capital for growth through a process called the Initial Public Offer or IPO. Investing in these IPOs can give you huge profits in some of the shortest time durations. They are great wealth creator tools. At the same time they can wipe out your investments equally quickly. So the IPOs are high risk, high return avenues of investment. There are always items to consider when investing in an IPO that can make them less risky.
Why do Companies launch IPOs?
In the growth trajectory of any company there comes a time when it needs to make a huge investment to grow to the next level. Whenever a company hits this point, it needs to look at two options: raise debt through bonds where it will get the investment money, but it pays interest and it needs to repay the debt eventually. Alternatively, go for an IPO where it decides to share its profits in the coming years. Understanding this is very important when investing in IPOs; after all you will now become a part of its profits and losses.
Understanding the Company Performance
You must first look at the company value in absolute terms and its value as per the IPO issue rates. The absolute company value is the difference between its asset value and debt. Typically, the asset value must be significantly higher than the debt to indicate that it is financially healthy. Besides, the IPO value must be less than its absolute value for you to make decent listing gains.
Apart from the company value, its annual performance too is a great indicator. Some relatively new companies may not have a huge absolute value; however they have good growth numbers in the past and show great promise for strong future growth too. In such cases, you can still invest with a long term view and its value is bound to increase.
On the side of caution, the thing that you need to look at is the legal problems that the company currently faces. If there are too many legal issues with it, it could be a very risky IPO to enter in. You are better off avoiding it till its legalities clear off and you can enter the stock in secondary market.
Finally, you need to look at the market position of the company. A market leader or a big player is a relatively safer bet than someone at the bottom of the chain. It is not to say that unknown companies will not grow or make profit, but they are always higher risk investments. If your aim is to cut down risks, you should avoid such companies.
Apart from these, you could also have IPO prospectus, current news, economic situation, etc that could affect the stock listing and your potential gains. It is best to look at these on a case by case basis that follow a general rule.
In summary, if you are looking to reduce risk in IPOs, you must look at items to consider when investing in an IPO. These are just simple checks that can protect your money. Yes IPO's are a risky investment, however if you find the right one, the rewards outweigh the risk every time!

Increasing Bug Infestations Reported in New Jersey
2011-01-22

Unlike other pests like ants, cockroaches and termites, the threat of New Jersey bed bugs should not be underestimated. The fact that New Jersey bed bugs, much like any other bed bugs, feed entirely on human blood make them just as much a threat as any other branch of bugs or pests.
