Midas: That’s right. An IPO is a way for a Privately owned company to become a publicly owned one. The owners of the company do it To raise capital, or sometimes it’s for Early investors to cash in.

Zoe: Okay, I’m following you so far.
Midas: Well, that first sale of stock is usually done In bulk, and I don’t have a few million dollars Lying around to buy that much stock. Luckily for me, those first buyers then Turn around and sell that stock in smaller amounts.
Zoe: And that’s when you’ll buy.

Zoe: You mean buy some Boogle stock?
Midas: Sure, why not?
