    I don't, IPO's are a mugs game. Sparky is right - there are early signs of the mugs returning to the markets.

    So are you saying that raising capital via equity markets is a bad thing?

    Nz needs more listings. It is fantastic that companies can now use the nzx to raise capital. I don't know if you had noticed, but the nz market has been dying slow death.

    I agree, there are mugs returning to the markets. But it is not just in ipos. I have been trading on nzx for 13 years. Never before have i seen such an expensive market.

    Even when profits have underwheled, the market does not punish. Think skellerup, michael hill.

    More than ever, it is a time to take quick profits and not be too exposed to the markets. Perhaps we could encourage brokers to allow shorting?

    hmm interesting they are willing to take the $$ from here but state no staff will be employed here , or was it no sales staff , either or , I found that quite an interesting comment to be made openly.

    Noodles i notice your comment that you have never seen such an expensive market,well you should have been around in the 1980s that was an expensive market totally over inflated. For example i bought a hand full of Robert Jones Inv shares in around 1982 before the bull run which cost me around $1500 and with a few share splits and bonus issues along the way i sold them for 75k and i can remember they went up $1 on just one days trading, that was just one stock a lot others were just as hyped but then we all know what happened in October 1987. I also have shares in Snakk.

    Speaking of possible new NZX listings, here's Brian Gaynor's article on IPO prospects for 2013.

    Some cautionary reminders from the 1980's included!
