Why "Marquee" IPOs Are a Terrible Idea for Regular Investors

by

The $756 million Dropbox Inc. initial public offering was a huge success, soaring 35% higher than its $28.48 debut price on the day.

Big-game IPO investing, where it's even possible, is almost always a loser for anyone who isn't an underwriter, institution, or corporate insider.

...you're probably about to be taken for a ride.
