Suppose Gaurav, an investor, is looking to add to his portfolio and hears about a potential investment through a friend, Hitesh, at a local coffee shop. The conversation goes something like this:
GAURAV: Hi, Hitesh. My portfolio is really suffering right now. I could use a good long-term investment.
Any ideas?
HITESH: Well, Gaurav, did you hear about the new IPO [initial public offering] pharmaceutical company called Pharma Growth (PG) that came out last week? PG is a hot new company that should be a great investment. Its president and CEO was a mover and shaker at an Internet company that did great during the tech boom, and she has Pharma Growth growing by leaps and bounds.
GAURAV: No, I didn't hear about it. Tell me more.
HITESH: Well, the company markets a generic drug sold over the Internet for people with a stomach condition that millions of people have. PG offers online advice on digestion and stomach health, and several Wall Street firms have issued "buy" ratings on the stock.
GAURAV: Wow, sounds like a great investment!
HITESH: Well, I bought some. I think it could do great.
GAURAV: I'll buy some, too.
Gaurav proceeds to pull out his cell phone, call his broker, and place an order for 100 shares of PG.
