The Visa IPO seems to be just around the corner, and they are saying that they think the intitial price will be $37-$42 per share. The question I have is how do you get in on the action? Can you use a normal trading place like Ameritrade, or do you need some high-priced broker to get in on something like this?

I'll take A High Priced Broker And At Least A Crap Ton Of Money With Them Already for a thousand, Alex!


I wish I could get in on something like that, too.

Yeah, he's pretty much right, torso. It's going to be heavily bought into, too. It may even be worth buying on the open market though, after seeing MasterCard's performance.

Well the Visa IPO is over and now everyone can purchase the stock if they want to; so now the question is are you going to buy it? It is currently trading at ~$62.30 and has generally stayed there since it went public.

I think it will go up, so I have bought some (a whopping 15 shares of it). Anyone else buying into it?
