My BFF is the COO of a privately held company. Their in the quiet mode currently..

Quick questions for u experts... How does the Friends and Family thing work? I was thinking about selling some Scottrade investments I have to cash So I'm ready if and when this all pans out..

Suggestions? ect I have thick skin

 

My first suggestion would be to thoroughly research the company, their market and whether you think they have a viable product/service.

I can't find the article but I know the IPO failure risk (especially in this market) is high.

Next step is becoming an eligible investor in the IPO. Read this: http://www.ehow.com/how_15315_invest-ipos.html

 

What company?

 

Inside IPO in this market?

No thanks.

 

Thanks... I know the market and Company very well.. I have been watching their amazing growth for years especially the last two years.

Were talking 200 million more just in the last 3 years.. they did 375 million in 2009!!!!!Their product line is a "want" not a ""need"

 

Send me a cashiers check and I'll tell ya... You see their stuff all the time if you travel.... But they have an un-ending product line.. OMG they have only tapped into a 1/4-1/3 of their market at most....

 

I wasn't offering you anything. But I'll tell you this one tiny little tid-bit, here goes

Warren Buffet was very interested in buying this company in 2006..

He took his ball and went home when he learned he was 2nd in line to another Equity Group

 

What's the big deal? They are in their quiet period which means they have already filed for the IPO. So if you give us the name we can decide if we want to invest or not. Otherwise this thread is just

 

Wow okay, Thanks for the advice....
