Im interested in purchasing more stock. I have never purchased stock on a foreign stock market. Alibaba is a company that has opened an IPO recently, however, it is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. What procedures are taken when purchasing internationally. Does the currency rate calculated before purchase or will the dollar amount be reflected during purchase? Im confused and need someones expertise.

I would like to work for a company that have the potential to go public in the near future. How can I get a list of companies that are about to go IPO in the next year in the USA? Can I get that from somewhere (online, database, etc.)? Perhaps there is a particular form that companies need to file to the SEC? What would be the form number? Thank you in advance.

Wachovia common is currently at $5.95 (52 week high $46.58) and is based on Wells Fargo purchase price. This is a 87% decrease in price. Wachovia preferred stocks are selling in the area of $16.00 (52 week high $25.00). This is a 36% decrease in price. Why is the preferred stock not affected like the common stock?

What are the requirements and how much might it cost for an investment bank like Merrill Lynch or Goldman-Sachs to do a new IPO? If your company is not in operation yet. To raise capital? I have been told that this would not be impossible to do.

(d) depreciation related to the excess of market value over book value of the investee’s depreciable assets at the date of purchase by the investor.

I am doing a paper over a small business in Boston. A section of the books talks about the company deciding to franchise but they decided to NOT use IPO. What exactly is IPO and what does it mean? I am not sure how to explain the advantages and disadvantages of using IPO.
Okay, I am COMPLETELY lost. . . .
