Of late, we’ve been deluged with a number of public offers from the banking and other sectors. Quite a number of these organizations and institutions have painted a bright picture of their business performance. They’ve also gone ahead to give brilliant future forecasts.

My concern however is not with the number of public offers in the market, but how to separate the wheat from the chaff to determine the really good ones to invest in. My word of advice during this public offer bumper season is “Please really consult the advice of your stockbroker or your finanical analyst”. If you fail to do so, you may just find yourself incurring losses with equity investment.
