I don’t need to tell you that there is some serious money in the stock market.
As the market has been pretty bullish for a long time now, there have been plenty of gurus and experts selling their methods and knowledge to “help” less savvy investors.
Paul Mampilly and Hudson Cashdan (yes, that’s his real name) have a newsletter that they claim can pretty accurately predict a certain group of stocks.
First, if you are tired of internet scams claiming to help, but just feeding off the ignorance of the masses and taking people’s money while not delivering anything except dividends to their own bank accounts, then see my #1 Recommendation to make money online.
It is the same method that I used as a brand new beginner to start making money online working part-time from home.
I was able to eventually quit my job and now I just work a few hours each week while having more time to travel and be with my family.
I have also seen it work for many others as beginners and I would do the same thing if I had to start all over again.
Ok, so what is IPO Speculator?
If you are a somewhat savvy investor, please be patient while I break this down and give some statistics.
First, let me explain what an IPO is.
It means Initial Public Offering.
This is how private companies raise a bunch of money by sharing ownership with the public.
They basically use an investment banker as an intermediary who evaluates the company, buys the shares from the company, and then sells them on a stock exchange.
There are a lot of details I’m leaving out here for the sake of brevity.
This is what is happening when a company goes “public”.
The stock is typically initially sold at a discount and then can bomb or skyrocket.
9 out of 10 companies’ stock that go public lose value initially.
However, over half of those go up over 100% over time and 10% of those have massive gains well over that (triple digits in several cases).
There is a great chance that investors will lose money, but the odds are stacked in the investors favor over time.
Well, imagine someone told you which IPO stocks to pick and told you when to buy.
That’s what IPO Speculator is.
The authors claim they have a system that can tell which stocks are going to do well and when to buy for the maximum gains in the shortest amount of time.
Do they really know?
Paul Mampilly has over 25 years in the investment world and has had some substantial wins.
He retired from Wall Street at 42 and says he is more interested in helping Main Street Americans learn how to make money in the stock market.
Hudson Cashdan has about 19 years experience of success in investing and is an analyst who personally invests in IPO’s.
If you believe that successful companies and stocks can be predicted, then I would say that these gentlemen most likely know what they are talking about.
There are most likely signs and markers that at least point to likely success.
However, it is tricky to predict the future.
I would definitely take caution and only invest money that you are prepared to lose.
It is a long game and it takes being able to weather drops in the market without freaking out and pulling the money before it has a chance to go up (and it may never go up).
I don’t believe that the IPO Speculator is a scam.
However, the newsletter costs $2995.00 per year.
It does come with some other reports as well.
If one or two of your investments had significant gains it could offset the cost.
I would like to point out though that statistically, if you invested the same amount in just 3 IPO’s in the next year, odds are in your favor that one or two of them would have massive gains.
If you spread that 0ut over 6 companies or more, then you would even more likely come out ahead.
Every IPO has to be underwritten by the investment banker so you are able to see the company’s prospectus before ever buying shares.
With a little research you could probably pick the right companies and learn quickly yourself what the common threads are with the winners.
Obviously this takes time and energy.
Perhaps it would be easier to be told by the experts which stocks are the winners.
Seeing a company go public and having a stake there is exciting and emotional.
Please use healthy skepticism and caution before investing and don’t invest more money than you can walk away from without it ruining your finances, marriage, or life.
On the other hand, if you do invest, I hope you make a ton of money.
Thank you for reading.

Hi! I know this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?
I am completely new to running a blog however I do write in my diary
