Most companies attempt to raise capital for expansion by a method called Initial Public Offering (IPO). Investing in those IPOs can bring you great profits in just a short time; they are great tools to create wealth. On the other hand, they can also wipe out your investments just as quickly. That's why IPOs are high-risk, high-return avenues of investment. When investing in an IPO, there are things the investor should always consider to make them less risky.

Cricket: Glamorgan’s James Harris eyes England honours

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sports/cricket-news/glamorganccc/2011/04/10/cricket-glamorgan-s-james-harris-eyes-england-honours-91466-28491429/

It might be asking a bit too much for Harris to win his first cap on home soil next month – Cardiff’s Swalec Stadium hosts England’s first Test against Sri Lanka – but the all-rounder isn’t giving up on a Three Lions debut this year.
Some of Glamorgan’s biggest names, including Gilbert Parkhouse, Peter Walker, Jeff Jones and teammate Robert Croft have represented England at Test match level and Harris is desperate to make the step up.
He believes touring with the England Lions, formerly England A, this winter gave him the perfect grounding for a call-up to the first team.
Pontarddulais-born Harris, still only 20, was in the runs and among the wickets on the Lions’ nine-match tour of the West Indies.
While Harris has already written his name into the Glamorgan record books for his feats as a fresh-faced teenager, he is now ready to push for full international honours.
His immediate focus is on getting Glamorgan’s championship season off to a winning start as they attempt to put the frustration of last year and the turbulent events off the field during the winter behind them.
For Harris, the early part of the off-season was spent at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough, ironing out the creases in his game before travelling to the Caribbean in January.
