Stacey asks:

I would like to ask a detailed question. Let us consider a company releasing shares in the initial public offer (IPO). The people at the stock market buy the shares. The company gets the required money. The company put the collected money into its business. Meanwhile, the stock is traded in the share market. Sometimes the share price goes up sometimes goes down depending upon various market dependent and market independent parameters. My question is in what way the company is affected by the fluctutaion in its share prices? Because, the company neither gains any profit when its share prices are up nor loses when its share prices are down. Because, the company has collected the money already. So, the company, its owners and its business are not affected by the share price of that company. It is the poor investers who buy and sell the stock are affected. Am I right? If I am right, why dont we call this as a pure gambling?

Earlene asks:

When a company starts an IPO and goes on the market, how does the company get cash for the stocks? When people and invesment companies buy a lot of shares, all that cash goes to the company, but what if the company spends all the cash received, does the stock price go down?

Julee asks:

With so much hype around the BlackStone IPO, I was wondering how I could buy shares of an IPO before they start being trading on the market. I remember the Google IPO being priced in the 80s and as soon as trading started it’s price jumped to about $108 or so. Similarly BlackStone’s priced at $31 but the as soon as the market opens the price might change. How could I have gotten it for $31?
