Are you kidding Jacob? It could take an investor years to recoup the first day IPO price -- if the company survives at all!

IPO for long run

Noreen, any investment through IPO or in equity is beneficial, in long term run. But In short term we had seen that trading happens even much below than the face value. So for long term investment IPO's are the best way to get a share in any company at the minimum cost, which can have a better yield in long run.

The IPO market is the opposite of beneficial to the small investor. A good investment IPO market would mean that small-and-medium sized companies are going public with reasonable valuations and great long term prospects.

Instead, what we have are egregiously overprice large-cap IPOs whose propects for growing into their valuation are rather low. It's kind of disappointing. It's not as easy to find the "next Microsoft" anymore.

I'd like to see more opportunities for small investors to participate not only in IPOs but in the market in general. Perhaps that starts with better economic education in high school so the concept of investing becomes more familiar to average people.

You brought back bad memories of owning pets.com and toys.com both companies I thought had a future. Wish I had a crystal ball.

That's my pitch for 2012 :)

Realistically, we don't have the big $$s but at least we can follow the trends and find good picks within the same scope just on a lower scale.

Phil, if you have the resources to compete with institutional investors, then go for us. The rest of us can just bide our time and wait for the IPOs to stabilize.
