In general, senior investors are always waiting for news about stock launches or IPOs, both offline and online, because the stock price has the potential to increase up to three times since the announcement of the prospectus until the launch of the shares on the stock exchange, but after senior investors take profits, the stock price will decrease. IPO share price fluctuations are very high, but have low liquidity, therefore IPO is not recommended for beginners.

The company's goal of launching an IPO is to obtain funds as business capital or to finance long-term projects, while the main goal of the public (investors) to buy IPO shares is to get capital gains.

IPO stock yields are very tempting for many investors, so many people buy them as speculative instruments, but if you are a beginner and are interested in entering the IPO world, you need to learn a few things, as follows:

1. Prepare Idle Money
Idle money is money that is not used for daily needs or other plans and make sure you don't have a loan.

2. Study the Company Profile and Background
Study the profile and background of the company (issuer), credibility of the CEO, board of commissioners etc. You also need to study the company's financial history, whether it is always increasing or decreasing.

3. Purpose of the IPO
Pay attention to what the company's goal is to launch an IPO, whether their reasons are positive, for example to expand marketing or business expansion, but you should never buy IPO shares with the reason to pay off debt.

4. Company Prospectus
Study the company's prospectus carefully, which contains the company's future prospects, risks and business challenges.

5. Company Underwriters
The Company's Underwriter has a role in determining the value of shares to be sold to the public. So you, as a potential IPO investor, must seek information about the performance and track record of the underwriters and brokers who processed the IPO launch.

6. Future Prospects
You as a potential investor need to study whether the company has the potential to grow in the future. How is the survival of the company, can the company operate for a long time, etc.

7. Types of Shares
In general, investors prefer their favorite types of stocks, especially stocks from the hospital sector, consumer goods, digital companies, etc.

8. Avoid FOMO
Don't be easily influenced by news on television, social media, opinions of famous people/actresses. So that potential investors are not trapped by fear of missing out or FOMO.

When you are thinking of buying an IPO, there are many things that you need to consider. The first thing is the price of the stock. The second thing is how much money you are willing to spend on it. If you are looking at a high priced stock, then this may not be worth it for you. You should also take into consideration your risk tolerance and how much money you can afford to lose when purchasing an IPO.

The price of the stock will depend on many factors such as the company's financials, growth prospects and the amount of shares available for purchase. In addition, it will also depend on whether or not there has been any news about the company or its management team in recent months.

If you have a smaller amount of money available for investment, then perhaps a lower priced stock will be better for you as well as being less risky than a higher priced one.

Research the company: Read the prospectus and other public documents, as well as articles about the company, its financials, management and market potential to get an understanding of the company's prospects.
Use a reputable brokerage firm: Use a well-established and regulated brokerage firm for your transactions. Do not use an offshore or unregistered firm.
Avoid unsolicited offers: Be wary of unsolicited emails, phone calls or direct messages claiming to offer insider information or exclusive access to an IPO.
Watch out for fraudulent websites: Do not enter personal or financial information on a website that you are unsure of its authenticity. Check the URL, look for SSL certificates, and read reviews before entering sensitive information.
Verify the information: Cross-check the information provided by the broker with independent sources such as the SEC, FINRA, and the company's own investor relations page.
Be cautious of guarantees: Be wary of any claims that guarantee returns or promise unrealistic profits.

There is no doubt that the company underwriters play a vital role in the company. What the company has written will be the thing people put there will see and that is why it is very good to make sure that it is captivating and people will love to read them and even patronize you.
The underwriters is a very good department that should not be left out or that should not be absent in a company.

IPOs can be tempting for investors looking for capital gains, but they come with high fluctuations and low liquidity. As a beginner, it's important to prepare idle money and study the company profile and background, financial history, purpose of the IPO, prospectus, underwriters, future prospects, and types of shares. It's also important to avoid being influenced by FOMO, and to not buy IPO shares to pay off debt. IPOs can be a good opportunity to invest in a growing company, but it requires careful consideration and research.

Senior investors often look out for news about stock launches or IPOs as they can increase up to three times before decreasing after senior investors take profits. However, as a beginner, it's not recommended to invest in IPOs due to their high volatility and low liquidity. It's important to understand the company's background, financial history, and future prospects before investing. By studying the company's prospectus and underwriters, potential investors can make informed decisions and avoid being influenced by FOMO or outside opinions. Investing in IPOs can be a good opportunity for capital gains, but it's important to approach it with caution and knowledge.
