You need to consider your risk profile before you start considering whether you should invest in some public offering or not. As others said, if you have a low tolerance to risk, and can't risk a lot of money, then probably investing in bonds or mutual funds is a better option. The return might not be that many but it should suit you. You can't get high return without having a big risk, but being greedy won't help you get rich either.

Lyft, Uber and other social media/apps giant definitely has some potential to grow and could give a great return, but there might be up and downs on the road. And who knows if one of them suffer the same fate as Path did.

Lyft, Pinterest, Zoom, Uber… these are the big names went to IPOs recently.
It seems IPOs are roaring back, especially compared with the freezing winter for ICOs. Shall I invest in these initial offerings? If so, how?

I think if you are not a risk taker since you are asking it here then probably the best thing to do is to invest not in a project like this that are still on the process of listing it to an exchange. I think it is better to invest in a growing project or even projects that are working already.

don't even begin to compare ICO and IPO. just because they are both "initial blank offering" it doesn't mean they have anything in common. in IPOs there is still some level of legitimacy involved and it is not all scam but an ICO is purely scam and the people creating them don't do any work, they just copy some code and spend a minimum amount of time to create a useless token which they sell for millions! and then they go away for good doing nothing else.

How to buy IPO Stock

As for ICOs, all you really need to do is visit their respective website and follow their instruction.

You risk a lot less with IPOs, considering ICOs are basically IPOs without all the regulatory mess. There might be a handful (and I wouldn't be surprised if there's literally only a handful) of ICOs worth looking into out there, but you're going to have to wade through a lot of shit, making it extremely high risk with low rewards.

Most of the ICOs are like a trade with extreme caution thing now a days, most of them are just used as an scamming setup by con artists.

I think any person investing his/her hard earned money in ICOs would just be called as fool in current days.

IPOs looks like a better option around ICOs, and there are some opportunities for investors to earn good profits with smart investments.

If I need to choose between ICO and IPO investments, I would ofcourse go with IPOs as per the current market.

Why ask us? It's completely up to you. I'm pretty sure it's not as easy to invest in an IPO though, as you'd have to register with a brokerage firm as far as I know. The process probably depends on what country you're in.

ICOs though? I don't think ICOs should even be considered nowadays.
