No cheating -- which tech company do you think had the highest IPO close-of-day share price -- Snap, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pandora, Workday, or GoPro? What makes you think their IPO was highest? Part II: Become a Tech InvestorUse the LA Time “So you want to be a tech investor? Try to beat the market on these tech IPOs” game to simulate being an early investor in 7 tech companies. Remember the cardinal rule of investing: Buy LOW and sell HIGH. In this game, you are ONLY choosing when to BUY, which means you’re trying to get the LOWEST price possible. Good luck!For each company, record the price YOU bought at as well as the Best Price (remember, that’s the lowest price). The game will give you these values after each round.
