Vm ware opened 80% today and I wanted to get in but I tried buying shares at $35 and I couldnt buy any. How do people buy stocks before the ipo’s skyrocket. I am waiting for Visa and would really appreciate any help. Another question where do you think VMW is going. Any other recommendations will be appreciated.

How do you invest in an IPO? I’d like to purchase Visa stocks tomorrow but have never purchased IPO stock?

I’d like to purchase Visa stocks tomorrow but have never purchased IPO stock before. I have a Scottrade account with stock do I just look for the ticker symbol and buy?
