Now let me ask an INTELLIGENT question and see if we can generate some
INTELLIGENT responses.
The scenario is as follows: Lets assume for a moment that a new IPO is announced
and it looks like the following:
* Exchange: NYSE
* Symbol: CPQ
* Shares Offered: 1.7 Billion
* Price: $22.00
* Company Name: Compaq Computer Corporation
* Company Profile: Develops and markets hardware, software, solutions and services,
including enterprise computing solutions, fault-tolerant business-critical solutions,
desktop and portable products and consumers PCs. Company is the Number One PC
Maker In The World, recently completed the acquisition of Digital Computer Corporation
(DEC), recently sold a majority stake of AltaVista to CMGI , holds a 14% equity in
CMGI…..and so forth!
* Financials: Zero Debt and 2.8 billion dollars cash
Now a couple of questions:
(1) What would be the Open Price?
(2) What would be the Close Price?
(3) How hot would this IPO be?
(4) What type of messages would be generated on the Chat Boards?
(5) Would people say that the company is going to go bankrupt?
(x) And blah, blah, blah, blah.....
THINK ABOUT IT!
Long and Strong: CPQ!..Hang In There All Of You TRUE LONGS! |
