The theme for this week is IPOs. An IPO, or initial public offering, refers to when a stock becomes publicly traded for the first time. There is usually a lot of excitement and clamor for IPOs. When a company offers ownership for the first time to the public, it can seem like a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.

IPO investing can be a fun way to own stocks, but investors should exercise caution when investing in IPOs. So this week I’m going to share with you what you need to know when considering an investment in a newly minted publicly traded company.

I’ll talk about what you should look for in an IPO, and when you should stay away. With the recent influx of IPOs this spring - notably, Lyft, Uber, Levi Strauss, and Pinterest, this is a timely topic and one that I’m excited to dive into this week.

That’s it for today, but before you go, would you take a quick minute to leave a review in Amazon or iTunes? And thanks to those of you who have already taken the time to leave a review.

My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
