Tifany asks:

Everybody i know tell me to hold on to them until the future; i believe that doubling up is more then enough of a profit; but people always talk about other IPOs from the past whose value today is is 50X its IPO value…
i guess what im saying is what are the odds of that? and is it really better to hold on or sell the IPO and reinvest
just some additional info; since im not in the US.
We do not pay taxes on it; IPOs here typically 1 comes out every month, and typically within the end of the week its value doubles.

(im liking the sell half idea)
and the reason for buying… well its value , typically, doubles up by the end of the week lol

Madalene asks:

When a company holds an IPO it sells a determined amount of stock and receives the money as capital to use in growing the business. So how does a company benifit from their stock price increasing when they have already received the proceeds from the sale?

Young asks:

EMC’s VMWare is being touted as the biggest IPO since Google went public in 1994. I have January 2010 call options with a strike price of $17.50 on EMC. EMC is currently trading in the $19 to $20 range and word has it that the IPO will be priced between $20 and $25. Obviously we won’t be getting one share of VMWare for each share of EMC. So with each options contract being for a lot of 100 shares of stock, we can’t be getting an options contract for VMWare. So what do options investors get in the case of an IPO spin-off like this?

Lavonia asks:
