Although 2011 was a tough year for the markets, and one in which the major indexes made little progress, investors were still willing to tip into the initial public offering (IPO) pool. Well-known companies like LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD), Pandora (NYSE:P) and Groupon (Nasdaq:GRPN) made their debuts as publicly-traded companies, while HCA Holdings (NYSE:HCA) returned to the market. (For more, read How An IPO Is Valued.)
As we now turn to the end of year and look ahead, there are a number of companies intending to go public at some point in the next year. While a bad start to the new year in the markets could lead some (and potentially all) of these names to postpone their offerings, these IPOs are most likely "when, not if" events. Before leaping into the IPO pool, though, investors should remember that playing IPOs can be tricky; not only is it difficult to get access to the low-priced IPO shares, but many of these stocks fall from their initial first-day closing prices.

Viva La TV!
While debates and arguments about immigration often dominate any conversation about the growing influence of Spanish-speakers in the United States, the reality is that the Spanish-speaking market is major growth market today. With that in mind, Grupo Televisa's (NYSE:TV) recent deal with Univision looks like a classic win-win deal for both parties.
The Deal
On Tuesday, Televisa announced a $1.2 billion deal with Univision that will further solidify the long-term relationship between these often fractious partners. With the deal, Televisa will get a 5% equity stake in Univision and debentures that can be converted into a further 30% piece of Univision. This is not the first time that Televisa has had an ownership stake in the largest distributor of its programming - prior to Univision's acquisition by private equity, Televisa was a minority investor.
