Visa IPO: You gettin in on this?
What’s all the buzz about the Visa IPO? If you don’t understand why this is such a big thing, you’ll just need to take a look at the Mastercard stock (ticker: MA), which IPO’d at below fifty bucks and now is just slightly under $200.
Analysts are predicting that the Visa stock will put on a better show than Mastercard did over the past two years. Not only that, Visa is set to break the record for the biggest US IPO offering ever.
Here is an article about the Visa IPO to read in your spare time: Visa IPO Article
So we want to know, ARE YOU GETTING IN ON THIS? Leave us a comment and let us know if you’re gonna join the party.


I invested in the MA IPO and i’m very happy with my investment. Although it’s not as big a payoff as those Google IPO Investors received (i’m jealous of you guys), it’s still a great investment in my terms.
They say the Visa IPO will be the biggest in terms of volume of shares. Analysts are saying that it will surge higher than MA, so i guess the bigger question is, how do we make sure we get our hands on these shares during the IPO?
SamIam points out a good question: How do we get a hold of these shares?
Unfortunately I was unable to cash in on MasterCard or Google, so Visa sounds extra intriguing to me!
You’ll need to contact your broker. They will ask you to fill out some paperwork approving the purchase of those IPO shares up to a certain value.
I can suggest a good Desi broker in Houston if needed.
i did get on the bandwagon of MA and Visa ipo and am very happy with result.
As SamIam says need to get hold of a broker, i suggested my co-worker to buy some visa stocks when they went IPO, to-day 5/1/08 he is happy check out what MA is trading to-day.
