spider asked:


I understand all they types of IPOs, and the reasons a company would want to go public, but I don’t understand how it affects the current ownership of the company. For example I own 51% of my company and 4 other people own the remaining 49%. How would our proportionate ownership in the company be affected by an IPO, and is it possible for me to keep 51% ownership in my company if I buy enough shares or does that defeat the purpose of an IPO?

Janne N asked:


I haven’t really had a lot of time to soak in a good knowledge base of IPO’s and their underwriting syndicates, so it’s hard for me to reflect on the subject and come up with a good research topic for an essay I have to do.

What are some simply topics, or hypotheses I can do with respect to underwriting syndicates of IPO’s?

I’m doing a Geography project and I have to explain something using the IPO system, some books say that P stands for purpose while the others say that it stands for process. I’m really confused.
