Initial public offerings — they’re the ground floor for big-time profits. Right? Not so fast. IPO stocks can be a two-way street, even in a hot market like today’s. Let’s look at three recent high-profile initial public offerings and consider how to play them for a more secure and risk-adjusted outcome.
It has been a hot market this year and IPO stocks have seen great success as a result. With the major indices at record-setting highs there has been a groundswell of offerings as company’s cash-in during a friendly market environment. But it works both ways, right?
IPO’s also hold the promise for investors of being the next Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) or Costco (NASDAQ:COST). Buying shares just as the stock enters life as publicly traded company seems like a great opportunity.
It’s not that easy though. The reality is most IPO’s won’t ever come close to the fantastical long-term returns of AAPL, COST and similar mega-caps whose tickers easily roll off our tongues. Still, there’s a chance. Isn’t there?
There’s also the truth that right here, right now and without passing judgment, some IPOs are dearly held. It’s also true that some of them are Wall Street’s version of a shiny new, must-have toy to own.

[BUY ALERT] Details on Four Altcoins With 10X Potential
Hello Reader,
I’ll keep this brief…
My new business partner and I have just found four altcoins that are poised for a major breakout.
We’re predicting these four altcoins will blow past the coveted 1,000% over the next 12 to 24 months.
And it’s all thanks to a massive technology upgrade called “The Awakening.”
Virtually every major corporation and government agency is investing billions to prepare for this Awakening.
I’m talking about Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and the departments of Defense and Homeland Security, to name a few.
We’ve located four small altcoins that we predict will be the biggest winners from this technology upgrade.
And if you take a small stake right now, you may never have to worry about money again.
If you want to learn more about the Awakening and details on the four altcoins that could absolutely soar because of it…
Talk to you soon,
Matt McCall
