Isn't the Internet Grand?

Less than a buck for MSFT you say...well my cost basis is 0...I'm gonna be rich I tell ya
! Serious question for you...how do those IPOs work in divying up the shares for you pros? As I recall, GOOG IPO'd at around 80, but when it became available to us "common folk", it was around 100...that was one I did get get lucky on (but for a VERY modest amount). I remember taking an early lunch so I could be by the computer at 12 noon that particular day. As I recall, GOOG was handled a bit differently at that time compared to most other initial offerings. Thanks...
