Remember to think carefully about what you wish for as it might come true! Listing (IPOing) on the TSE is harder than NASDAQ but the ongoing reporting for a NASDAQ listing are brutal, in comparison to the TSE. CMGI, ICGE, SFE, WCAP have much stringent reporting and holding requirements on their investments versus Softbank and thus Softbank has more flexibility. For example, lock-up periods are different for a US VC-like stock like CMGI after one of its companies makes an IPO against Softbank. The decreased flexibility and increased transparency may not improve the stock price. Incidentally, Merrill sells SFTBF in lots of less than 100. Please search the posts on this thread using Merrill for details. The bar is lower than you think.
