I would talk to a broker or invest Ina mutual fund
You don't have the financial brains to do this on your own

I think an analogy using a pizza would be appropriate here.

Hmm the reason to own more shares??? If i have 2k to spend and an IPO is offered at 100@share then i buy 20 shares = 2000 if i own 100 shares at 20 dollars = 2000 ------------------------- it goes up 10 dollars ------------------------- 100shares @ 20 = 2000 now 100shares @30= 3000 20 shares @ 100 = 2000 now 20shares @ 110 = 2200


if this is your logic then why would you consider $20/share, why not buy 2000 shares at $1 and if it goes up $10 then you made $20,000 profit, hell why not look for penny stocks...

Depending on the offer, I usually wait. The one that worked out very well for me is WYNN. I've not been getting offered a lot of add ons and IPO's lately, but I don't get all of them, so no idea what to make of that.

WTF is this logic, the $10 does not matter one stock rose 50% and one stock rose 10%

What on earth.

OP $100,000 doesnt matter if its 1 share at $100,000 or 100,000 shares at $1 all that matters is the % the stock moves up or down. Do yourself a favor and quit worrying about quantity of shares. Would you rather 1000 shares of ford for $12 that will be $12 in 5 years or would you rather 14 shares of google at $789 that will be $1500 or more in 5 years. The amount of shares is irrelevant.

This reminds me of the person I was advising that said I was wrong about God knows what, and told me he would do what his buddy on the boat has been doing for years. Triples his money consistently every year.


I said "that's fine. I'll just ask one thing from you. If your buddy can triple his money each year consistently, ask him why he still works on the boat"


It took him a second, but he realized at that point he had no idea what he was talking about.

I'd recommend to stay away from IPOs. They can be especially volatile. Better to wait for the dust to settle





You must hate making money. Volatility is where the returns are found.

OP, ipoboutique is a good site to familiarize yourself with

IPO's are a dangerous game for someone who has not mastered the simpler parts of investing yet.


I look forward to the follow up thread about stock splits
