The mega IPOs (initial public offerings) are back on the horizon. The biggest sensations of the last few years have undoubtedly been the two 'IPs'. IPL and IPO.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) that hit the market with regularity till the cycle of economics caught up with them. There was a time when even youngsters were discussing IPOs, what with so much publicity given to mega offers. It was a huge wave and that carried many small investors along its tides and took them to great heights. That was till gravity acted and it came crashing down. It happened suddenly making many investors grasp the reality that the stock market might be the best way to let your money work for you but not the easiest way. There were too many similarities to the 20-20 version of cricket, which never augured well for the stock markets. Why this discussion of all the negatives at this juncture again? Well, the subtle but steady activity building up in the IPO domain is indicating that there is another wave forming. The restlessness of the 20-20 stock market players could probably make this a high wave too. So, what should small investors do? Do we take our surfboards and ride the wave too, or settle for the wave to hit the shores and put our monies. Well, there's no perfect answer to the above questions. But, yes, there are certain fundamental principles to help us find out what suits us right. *Image: *An investor speaks on a mobile phone in front of a bronze replica of a bull at the gates of Bombay Stock Exchange building in Mumbai. *Photographs: *Arko Datta/Reuters Subject: http://business.rediff.com/slide-show/2009/aug/21/slide-show-1-how-to-make-money-from-mega-ipos.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""GLOBAL SPECULATORS"" group.
