It has record high lows and has basically everyone that had invested in stocks has lost money on their investments this recently. Because of that, many people are now deciding to not invest in the stock market andsimply saving their money in regular bank savings accounts which typically do not earn muchmoney. For several people, losing half of the retirement or college funds has scared them into not wanting to buy stocks again. This is understandable but you should not be afraid to once again trust in the market.

Once that is determined to be areputable company you will be notified when the company's shares will go on resale to the public. You can invest a large amount or a more conservative amount, that all depends on how comfortable you are with taking risks.
