IPO: Investing in a new company comes with risks that don’t come with investments in established companies, according to The Toronto Star. And that if you can even get a piece of the latest hot offering. But investment advisers caution that the hope of turning a quick profit by investing in an IPO is probably more mirage than reality. Sylvain Brisebois, a regional vice-president for BMO Nesbitt Burns, says many investors think an IPO is a sure way to make money, but that not true. But they will also recall the massive failures many of those became when the bubble burst.IPOs come with risks on top of the usual ones that come with buying any stock, Brisebois said. Investors old enough to have lived through the dot-com frenzy will remember the windfall profits many early investors in IPOs of start-up tech companies were able to bank.
