A Thawing IPO Pipeline

By: scutler: File Under: Listed Companies

From Scott Cutler: Secondary offerings by publicly listed companies have raised over $176 billion on the NYSE so far this year, proving that there is plenty of cash on the sidelines that wants to be put to work. This healthy appetite has also created the most vibrant IPO market in the last two years. So far, $7 billion has been raised on the NYSE through initial public offerings (and another $1.5 billion on Nasdaq), with six companies debuting last week, another nine expected over the next two weeks and the pipeline for the next three quarters as strong as we've seen it in at least a couple of years.

By: Ray Pellecchia: File Under: NYSE Euronext

"However, with new and diverse products coming onto regulated markets and clearinghouses, this moment—defined by the recent crisis—provides us an opportunity to construct a better and more coordinated approach to regulation. The U.S. deserves a 21st century regulatory system to match its world-class capital and risk markets. As these markets innovate and become increasingly intertwined, the need for enhanced collaboration and cooperation between the SEC and CFTC becomes increasingly evident. There are several steps that can help in coordinating the missions of these important agencies."
