Juliane asks:

I am wondering if-and then how-a corporation continues to make money off its shares sold in the market. More specifically, once initial shares are sold, does a corp. continue to make $ every time the shares are traded? If not, can a corp. offer a new batch of shares any time it needs capital and, if so, is this considered a new IPO (if not, how would an investor know about the new shares)?

Thanks.

Deandre asks:

As a regular, everyday investor is it possible to make any money from an IPO? Once an offer price and date has been set how long does it take for a broker like Scottrade to get the shares of a new IPO? I see that there is a lot of money to be made from them and I was wondering if I could get a piece of the pie. Thanks

Laverna asks:

I am interested in a stock that is going public. As a ‘normal’ investor, how can I purchase these. I usually buy ETF’s, but certain IPO’s interest me.
