Year 2000 IPO Review
from the not-pretty-out-there dept
Here's an article that reviews the the IPOs from the last year. Not surprisingly, a lot of them were pretty bad. All the good ones happened early in the year. The article suggests, however, that in the long run this is a better situation for the small investor. Even with the insane returns on IPOs in 1999, it was usually the small investor who was left holding the bag when things went bad. As the article says, "reality is your friend".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
