It looks like Main Street is poised to get in on an investment that's been largely off-limits: initial public offerings. While the move may broaden who can participate in these offerings, experts say it won't change the risk that comes with IPOs.

Before any new stock reaches the market, investment banks — which generally underwrite IPOs — sell shares that end up in the hands of select investors. Everyone else must wait until shares start trading through a market like the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.
