The Best and Worst Recent Tech IPOs
The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which technology and media editor/analyst Andrew Tonner and developer Chris Bledsoe discuss topics across the investing world.
The last 18 months witnessed an astounding amount of activity in the tech IPO space, as many impressive but unproven growth companies sold their shares to the public. Resembling the bubble mania of the early 2000s, many investors said the old rules of business didn't apply.
