Fay asks:

I missed the boat on big IPO’s like Amazon, Yahoo, Google and the likes. VISA is geared to go public sometime next year.
MC started at 40.30 and is now 215.46. Would it be good advise to put some money into it, long term. Since I am new to this - on line trading, is it as good as having a broker.
Thanks in advance for all advice.

Shera asks:

Even though they generated money and capital in the beginning, won’t they still have to pay it back in the end if the company closes down. So then the money won’t be theirs…

Vanita asks:

I’m not too sure of how VC really works. Let’s say I am a startup company and we get founded by VC. They invest in the company and get a share of it, I pay some annual fees, and if everything rolls alright we get to split the money in the end after an acquisition or IPO.

But what happens if the product fails? Will I own any invested money to the VC firm? How does it work?

Jay asks:

I know those are fairly rare these days…but how can I get a hold of stock (prior to an IPO)?

Any ideas? It sounds as if it’s the “luck of the draw” sort of thing…thanks!
what kind of money would you think one would need to put down? 10k? 25k? 100k? more?
ok thank Thin…I was told that about 30 minutes ago too by a broker…

Tobie asks:

I have heard of IPO but how is the value determined and where does the money that the stock buyers go? who get paid what fees to get these transactions done?

Williemae asks:

After the IPO, I don’t understand if the company has any more benefits of those shares being traded over and over many times. If the company does not have any benefit, why do they concern themselves with the stock price? I would greatly appreciate anyone who can explain this.

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
