Just found out that my husband's company is going public... [View all]

They've already filed the papers and all that from what I understand. They've said that we will have an opportunity to buy stocks before it goes public.

Neither of us know much about this kind of thing or what to do. We think this might be a good opportunity, but I feel like we need to be educated.

Can anyone give me a tutorial of sorts on this or give me some links? We're paycheck to paycheck folks, but we don't want to pass up any opportunities that might help us in the future. I most especially want to know the drawbacks.

Any help or information would be great. Thanks
