Here's an interesting bit of info from Bloomberg News (newsletter) today: 10. Companies Adhere to Myth in Citing `Quiet Periods' Houston: Conoco Inc. made history last October after it raised $4.4 billion in the biggest initial public offering ever. Conoco executives, though, didn't want to talk about it. They didn't want to discuss the company's strategy, prospects for oil prices, acquisitions they might pursue or anything else investors might want to know before plunking down their money. Instead, the executives issued a news release saying that because of intense media coverage, the Houston-based oil company would ``adhere to the most strict interpretation of the SEC `quiet period' regulations.' Those Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, however, don't exist. Like dozens of companies that have filed to sell stock in the past year -- from United Parcel Service of America Inc. to software maker Inktomi Corp. -- Conoco was citing one of the most enduring myths in U.S. business.
