Facts on Shell stocks like.CHIP,NIFI,SNLV,and others. Reverse Mergers: The New Alternative to IPOs By Jack Burney 05/17/2000 05:28 AM CST The best known way for a young company to raise capital is the Initial Public Offering, the ?IPO,? and most investors know what that is. An investment banking firm lines up a consortium of brokers and brings out the shares of a company to be traded on the open market. These are often the very first shares of the company that are available to the general public. If the company already has a recognizable name and there is a lot of hype surrounding the offering, only the brokers? best customers will get a chance to buy the stock at the offering price. Conventional wisdom says that the stock price will likely rise well above the offering level, sometimes even doubling or tripling or more. That means that average investors who want to get a piece of that company end up paying several times as much they would have liked, because they have to wait for someone to sell the IPO shares they bought only hours or days before. But, unfortunately, that was the only way for them to get in ?early?. So, once the stock hit its initial peak and started to go down, the fat cats who were really in early on the IPO would sell and make a fantastic profit. Besides alienating the majority of the investing public, there are two other problems that now plague somewhere around fifty percent of all new IPOs. First, IPOs are no longer a sure bet to rise, or even to be sold out. All too often, the price opens at the set figure and immediately declines, sometimes taking months to sell out. Second, the IPO process takes a lot of time and money to complete. For many companies that is simply not an option, or at least not a winning situation. Time and money are the most precious commodities a fast-moving 21st century start-up has, and if there is no guarantee of success, it can be a very risky investment for the company to make. That has left thousands of companies wondering why they should go through all the hassles with underwriters, lawyers, accountants and the SEC mess, if there?s another way that is quicker, cheaper and often has an equal or even better chance of succeeding. That other way has proven to be the ?reverse merger.? Not nearly so well known as the IPO, it is being used with increasing frequency by young companies who want to ?go public? without the long wait, the prohibitive expenses and the need to jump through as many SEC hoops. An example of its use were reported on this page in recent days. Oleramma, Inc. bought BuckTV.com Inc. (OTCBB: BKTV) with stock and then assumed its name and trading symbol. The company became ?publicly traded? quickly and inexpensively ? in 30 to 60 days with minor expense. That?s what the reverse merger is most often all about, a short cut to OTC Bulletin Board status. For young aggressive companies that are anxious to raise initial capital to fund their operations and to get its stock out there, appreciating in value, the reverse merger is more and more often the path they take. The hang-up is finding the right company in the mood to sell. It helps if the company is in a similar or related business, but it isn?t necessary. Many times they end up merging with a ?shell? company that has little or no existing operations, just a publicly traded stock. Whatever suitor is chosen, the end usually justifies the means. Once the reverse merger is consummated, the real struggle begins. The company that was taken over usually wasn?t doing that well or traded very widely, or it wouldn?t have had to sell out. The surviving management then has the formidable task of building name recognition and a viable investor base for their ?new? public company. Many rely on professional public relations and investor relations assistance to help them spread the word and generate investor interest. The reverse merger is one type of financial event that investors may want to pay closer attention to in the future. Companies who pull them off are usually aiming for aggressive growth. That means that if you know what to look for, you can often get in on the ground floor of some real winners, much like the fat cats have done for years with the hyped up IPOs. So watch for news and make sure you do your research, but don?t overlook those reverse mergers. You never know what you?ll find.
