The Blackstone IPO is ready to happen and is expected to start at $29-$31/share. I've read/heard a lot about this company in the media, with a gradual increase in exposure over the past 6 months.

I'm no financial expert, but this appears to be a good investment, at least for the short term.

To the more experienced investors, is anyone buying? Is it worth getting a few hundred shares with the expectation of a significant increase over the next 12 months? Also, I know IPO's are tough to get in to at the ground level. At what price would the average investor be able to buy in for?
