Investors looking to buy into the much-anticipated IPO of Twitter are going to have some waiting to do before seeing if there will be any shares for them.
Details are still scarce on the initial public offering of Twitter, since the company has only provided its registration privately to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are still waiting for details on how many shares of the social media company will be offered, the timing of the offering and the price of the shares.

Typically, IPOs of much-anticipated IPOs are doled out by the investment bankers running the deal to their favored clients and long-standing customers. Individual investors interested in buying shares usually have to purchase them in the open market once trading begins. But experts are thinking Twitter may likely follow the lead set by Facebook and other recent IPOs in holding back some shares for individual investors.
