IPO Stocks: IPO Offerings are Up 17% Over Last Year!
By Ann Sosnowski
2007 is quickly becoming the year the most companies will go public since 2000.
It’s a testament to the booming IPO trend that when Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (NDAQ:NASDAQ) released its earnings last week, much of its revenue came from the increasing number of IPO companies trading in the first quarter. NDAQ said that it saw the most initial profit offerings in the first quarter of 2007 since the dot-com boom!
The IPO market is already on track to be the most profitable since 2000. IPO offerings in the United States have already raised about $15.5 billion this year through more than 80 deals, which is up a whopping 17% from this time a year ago.
Everyone is talking about the potential the IPO market has, even so early in the year. It’s definitely a trend that any investor should take advantage of right away.
Barron’s said it best: “The recent bull market in IPO's can't jump nearly as high as the dot-com-powered one back in the late 1990s. But it does have the potential to run much farther.”
IPO news is just everywhere.

IPO Stocks: The Best Opportunity Since 2000
For the first quarter of 2007, 48 companies went public. The second quarter is on track to beat that record… and 2000’s numbers.
If you’re not exposed to the IPO market yet, you’re not doing your portfolio justice.
This year’s IPO opportunity is a rare event… no one thought we could ever surpass the 2000 dot-com IPO boom. But now that it’s almost a lock that IPOs will surpass the money made in 2000, you should allot some money to this golden opportunity.
