In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Phil Town explains the pros and cons of investing in an initial public offering (IPO). In order to determine if you should invest in an IPO, consider the following:
- Is it worth the price?
- Will the price plummet? Uber and Lyft's stock prices took extreme dips after they went public in 2019.
- Are you prepared to bet on the unknown, considering there is no background information on the new company?
