Investing in IPOs - Version 2.0 (Bloomberg Professional) Book

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.
