A Wall Street Journal article can help you find investors by providing a list of companies that have filed for IPOs, or initial public offerings. IPOs are a great way to generate some capital and the data on the list of companies is up-to-date. However, any investor wishing to subscribe should read all filings before investing. This may be especially important given the heightened level of market volatility in recent years. In this time frame, it's been even riskier to speculate with shares on the stock market because each successive boom has been followed by an even worse crash than before.
