Over the past year too many great IPOs prospects, who would have long term growth potential, have had their public offering either (a) shelved or (b) share price slashed or (c) simply cancelled altogether. For a company that is depending upon the funding from an IPO a cancellation can be devastating. Not only has company management spent the better part of 18 months preparing for the IPO they are also out of pocket a couple of million dollars for related costs and fees for the public offering. The fact of the matter is the only IPO deals getting financed are large, established companies such as VISA that raised $19.7 billion in March of 2008.
