The episode discusses the reasons behind companies like Uber and Lyft deciding to go public, primarily to raise more capital for expansion and to allow early investors to cash out.

Shownotes Transcript

Uber and Lyft are two big companies that made a huge splash with their IPOs recently, but it remains to be seen whether either will become profitable.

Both have posted billions in losses so far and it doesn’t seem like that will change any time soon.

With that in mind, it makes you wonder why so many investors pay tons of money to invest in IPOs as soon as they can. I mean, what’s the big deal?

In today’s show, I’m going to dive into this topic and provide some academic data that sheds light on IPOs.

Once you know more about them and how they’ve performed historically, you may come to see IPOs for what they are — an exciting event that will more than likely cost you money if you get involved.
