And they keep coming. In 1997 alone, investors had the choice of no fewer than 80 floats. All offered a ground floor opportunity with no brokers' fees to pay. The bigger floats were backed by extensive advertising campaigns and for the biggest of them all, Telstra, an enormous number of glossy brochures were sent out which achieved a huge amount of publicity. Are new floats good value? Certainly Telstra was, with investors sitting on a profit of 61\% at the end of 1997-after less than two months. At the other end of the scale one stock, listed in February, had fallen 90\% by the year end. Overall there were more losers than winners in the class of '97 so how can would-be investors decide which floats to go for? In this book Des Luplau shows investors how to look behind the gloss and glitter to find the hard facts. Using actual examples he explains the figures so that investors may work out for themselves the key ratios.He then goes on to explain how these ratios may be used, along with other information, to complete a company scoresheet. Thus investors have all the information they need to make an informed decision on whether or not to take part in the float. *** Quantity Available: 1.
