Full of Useful Information!

Yes, this book has large print and is an easy read. Don't let that fool you; it's loaded with useful information! In very concise terms, "Investing in IPOs" quickly brought me (a beginning investor) to the point where I understand what to look for in an IPO and where to find that information. Taulli also addresses the sad reality that most individual investors are stuck on the outside when the initial offering happens. But he offers tips to tell you the best time to jump in if you've missed the first offering.Read this book with a highligher in hand because you will be going back to it. It's a great launching point, though not a single source for all you'll ever need to know. On the other hand, the questions I'm now looking to answer are questions I didn't even know to ask before reading this book.

A comprehensive and timely work.

As a professional investor, I appreciated Tom's insight into the IPO market. Tom did not just research a topic and write about it. He clearly is immersed in the market and loves it. A must read for any investor.

A MUST for investors contemplating investing in IPOs

If you have ever thought about investing in Initial Public Offerings, this book should be read BEFORE you call your financial consultant. The media is fond of reporting IPOs which have had stellar performance and creating an atmosphere of near hysterity. Before you enter your first order, do yourself (and possibly, your family) a big favor, read this book and get the "full scoop" on the Initial Public Offering marketplace. This is one book that I have on my shelf that should provide you with the fact on this market that has the potential of not only making you money, but more importantly, allow you to minimize the potential pitfalls of this marketplace that the media de-emphisizes. If knowledge is indeed power, this book can make you a Superman of this investment area. Good reading, easily understood, and very well written. You'll be glad you read this before entering your first order (or your next one)! Read it, and you'll understand the marketplace better than most. Best wishes to your continued investing success - the more you know, the better your prospects of investing successfully. Good luck and I wish you the best of profitability!

If you invest or want to invest you must buy this book!

What a great book. It is everything that you should have been taught in school and you were not. If you have any money invested or if you are going to invest, you would be making a mistake not reading this book first. The book covers everything that you want to know and everything you should know about investing into an IPO. The entire process of what happens to a company and to an investor.With the conditions of the market today it is only apporiate that this book is out. I can hardly wait until his next book comes out.
