Description of Investing in IPOs Version 2.0

The first edition of Investing in IPOs was hailed as 'desperately needed' and full of 'crucial information in the new Internet investment era.' Since then, more individuals have access to IPOs-through banks, discount brokers, and the Internet-and there is an even greater need for information for the individual investor.
Expert Tom Taulli's course on smart and informed IPO investing has now been revised and expanded to keep up with this fast-moving field. Taulli shows which firms distribute IPOs to investors as well as how all investors can increase their chances of getting in on an IPO. The Internet section has also been updated to include leading topics such as wireless and infrastructure-and an examination of the dangers of investing in Net IPOs.
At least fifteen IPOs raised more than $1 billion in 2000. An equal number of new offerings crashed and burned after takeoff. Investing in IPOs Version 2.0 offers clear guidance on how to sort the winners from the losers and invest wisely in this new market climate.
