It all depends on the company.
Three recent IPO's in the last six months include Mastercard (MA), Vonage (VG) and Burger King (BKC).
Each had differing results. Be wary of just any IPO. There has to be a reason and interest in the company for it to do well. And it has to be priced correctly too.
Just look at how each of these three companies above have done since their IPOs.
Good luck!

Just means buying a stock at the Initial Public Offering. If you are a small investor & it is a hot issue you will not get any shares at the IPO. People use safe in bad ways which guarantee thier failure so won't answer that. Keeping $$ in the bank means it is safe to say you will lose purchasing power after taxes & inflation so not safe. IPO good way if you get in on a good 1 but unlikely you will.

Some IPOs do very well. Other do not do so well. It is somewhat of a gamble as apposed to an investment generally speaking. For the general run of the mill small time investor, IPOs are not such good deals because if the IPO is hot, it will be allocated to deserving clients not the nickle dime guys.

IPOs' are one of the best avenues for investing. You get back ur money if shares are not allotted. You may get a good price on the shares if u get an allotment. But the catch is that u should invest in a good IPO. Research about the IPO before investing.

on the prospect of sounding like a heartless piece of snot... no. except the reward is particularly extreme, that is going to not make a distinction. submit flyers or something and in case you want, furnish a reward, yet personnaly, i does not.
