	Initial public offering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IPOs generally involve one or more investment banks as "underwriters." The company offering its shares, called the "issuer," enters a contract with the underwriters to sell its shares to the public.
		A large IPO is usually underwritten by a "syndicate" of investment banks led by one or two major investment banks.
		Smaller IPOs may also be significantly affected by state blue sky laws; these laws are usually pre-empted by federal law when the stock is to be listed on a major exchange or NASDAQ, but apply fully to certain medium-scale offerings on a local level.

	Tech IPO Controversy - Special Reports. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		During the heyday of the Internet boom, the average Internet IPO share price appreciated 65% on the first day of trading, meaning outsized profits were available for institutional investors receiving shares in the company before the stock began trading on the open market.
		And some technology companies, in comparing the initial price of the IPO with the opening price on the first day of trading, contend that the underwriters systematically underpriced their shares, in effect leaving "money on the table" - cash that could be used to fund ongoing operations or finance further growth and acquisitions.
		In response to the acknowledgement that the IPO allocation process needs to be corrected, market participants and academics alike have advanced various proposals that would erase - or at least mitigate - some of the more egregious anti-competitive practices.

		IPOs are generally managed by companies that specialize in handling IPOs and have experience in determining what the likely IPO offering price should be.
		If the IPO manager determines that the stock will not sell at an offering price that is acceptable to the company, the application for an IPO is usually withdrawn until a better time.
		As soon as all shares of an IPO have been sold, the stock is now tradable through stock exchanges or specialists that trade in the stock and the stock price may go up or down.

	frontline: dot con: what were they thinking?: an ipo primer \| PBS
		An initial public offering (IPO) is the process through which a company makes the transition from a privately held entity to a public company with stock traded on one of the major stock exchanges.
		Typically, a company going through an IPO is young and relatively unknown, therefore IPOs generally are considered riskier investments.
		The best advice for an individual seeking to invest in IPOs is to develop a relationship with a broker who can obtain IPO allocations for his or her clients.

		Upset that just $7 million of the IPO's $600 million in estimated proceeds will go to the company and its artists, Linkin Park demanded in a statement to be released from its contract to deliver seven albums to Warner.
		A vast majority of the IPO proceeds are being used to pay back debt incurred when management, including music industry vet Edgar Bronfman Jr., bought the unit from Time Warner in March 2004.
		Gaskins says Warner is just the latest in a flurry of IPOs in which investors, having bought a company by using heavy debt, look to cash in and pay down the debt.

	Initial Public Offering (IPO) Basics - What is an IPO?

	Initial Public Offering - IPO
		IPOs are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately-owned companies looking to become publicly traded.
		In an IPO, the issuer obtains the assistance of an underwriting firm, which helps it determine what type of security to issue (common or preferred), best offering price and time to bring it to market.
		Also, most IPOs are of companies going through a transitory growth period, and they are therefore subject to additional uncertainty regarding their future value.

		Other prominent IPOs include the market debut of software specialist Salesforce.com, which saw a quick run-up in its first hours of trading but has since settled down to about 20 percent above its initial price of $11 per share.

		Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- ZTE Corp., which is reviving its initial public offering after scrapping the plan last year, will use 60 percent of the proceeds from the sale to expand overseas as revenue from wireless communications in China may decline, according to a document linked to the offer.
		The Chinese telecommunication equipment maker, which plans to raise as much as HK$3.1 billion ($399 million) in the IPO next month, will focus on growing in emerging markets after overseas sales rose to 13.4 percent of the total in the first-half from 8.5 percent a year earlier.
		ZTE, which previously hired JPMorgan Chase and Co. for the sale, was forced to scrap the IPO in April 2003, citing poor market conditions.

		Back then, it seemed you couldn't go a day without hearing about a dozen new dot-com millionaires in Silicon Valley cashing in on their latest IPO.
		The phenomenon spawned the term "siliconaire," which described the dot-com entrepreneurs in their early 20s and 30s who suddenly found themselves living large due to IPOs from their Internet companies.

	Report: Google IPO Auction in Works
		Many observers believe a Google IPO, which has been the subject of rampant speculation in recent months, would be the most valuable public offering since the heady days of the dot-com era.
		One report said the company was considering an open online auction to "acknowledge the millions of users who have turned the closely held concern into a cultural icon." However, final decisions on a number of matters have not yet been made.
		Google has reportedly whittled down the list of investment banks it has considered to underwrite the IPO but there is no word on the timing of the filing or how many shares will be offered.

	A Very Public Offering - Newsweek Technology - MSNBC.com
		The century's most anticipated IPO was on, and the document, revealing the search giant's financial details, business strategy and risk factors instantly eclipsed Bob Woodward's Iraq book as the most-talked-about tome in the nation.
		Colloquially written in the first person by Larry Page, 31, and placed over his signature and that of his cofounder, Sergey Brin, 30, it is a stern prescription for a focused business and a cri de coeur bemoaning the get-rich culture that may interfere with it.
		To the dismay of the founders, the IPO became viewed as a Silicon Valley watershed, something to wash clean the bubble residue and start inflating the tech economy once again.
