This is probably a silly question - but can regular people buy Twitter stock as soon as trading begins?

I am thinking of buying a very small number of shares & "gifting" them to my sister - a super user of their service..more for novelty than as part of any serious investment strategy.

Of course, but you won't know what the price will be until the shares start trading. If there is a lot of demand, they could be priced higher than the offer price.

Doubtful that you'd get it at the IPO price.
