Ahhh, ok, that makes more sense, thank you. So the figures on the chart are the value of the company's shares when it was first listed?

You should post their following stock activity as well with spy as a control for timing and then track the delta/beta and post those against each other for a 5-10 year period

i thought PB swiss would make the list

Uh, do you get to keep the maids a milking? Because at just over seven bucks apiece…

So basically no change in the most expensive markets

Gift: partridge in pear tree.

Number of times given: 12

Total number of partridges and pear trees: 12

Gift: five golden rings

Number of times given: 8

Total number of rings: 40

Yes, entirely. An IPO is an event. A PLC is a classification of company.

Wow, apparently Aramco's IPO was for roughly 1.5% of the company's total value (according to investopedia).

I'm not gonna write a research paper to debunk this American gun propaganda. All you have to do is drive from Toronto to Buffalo, Windsor to Detroit or from Vancouver to Seattle to know that these numbers aren't accurate.

Triple the violent crime rate, despite having a third as many murders. Sure, seems totally accurate. Graph isn't accurate on that one either. Canada's murder rate isn't as low as OP suggests.

I explicitly remember Facebook going public in 2012 and saying "who on earth is buying stock in a myspace knockoff? This thing is going to die just as fast as the other 10" and this is why I'm not a market predictor.

Direct listing maybe?

How much are pear trees these days?

what does this even mean

Keep taking your car to burger king for tires.

Uh that's my point. So your accident doesn't count towards anything. Now look at number of traffic accidents per year statistically. None of yours have ever been counted. Of you had those accidents almost anywhere else in the world they'd be counted.

I would think that costs extra

Just shows u dumb and uninformed

Is the partridge including the cost of a pear tree? Mature fruit trees are quite expensive

My maid service costs $40 an hour 🤔 that’s what I get for living in Seattle

Sure, but the US government had enough ownership power to make any decisions unilaterally. The other players owned a chunk but were essentially toothless.

Note that this doesn't reflect the value of the business but only the portion of the business that was floated on the stock market. For instance Aramco only sold 1.5% of the business via their IPO, whereas I think GM sold more like 28% in their 2010 IPO?

If it's not enough to get a studio apartment then it doesn't make sense

Why should police care about car accidents where nobody broke the law? Aren't insurance companies a more logical keeper of such data?

I'm sure police has better use for their time than going to accident sites when nobody broke the law. They could be needed if there is a dispute between people involved in the accident about whose fault it was in which case the police could investigate it and give their statement that the insurance companies then use as a neutral party.

It seems like it would be useful to include acquisitions too, since that's the other side of the same coin and those numbers can be absolutely massive too...

I have a consulting firm that finds VC and angel investment for startups, mostly tech and energy, and around a decade ago was working for a finance firm doing similar work... A decade ago when you asked "what is your 'everything worked out perfectly' hope for where this company will be in 5-10 years" you would almost always get "successful IPO". These days when I ask the same question I get a lot more "get bought by titan of the industry company X or Y". Not like nobody wants IPOs anymore by any means, but a lot of people would prefer to sell to Google or Tesla or someone with a favorable deal and an honorary seat at the table afterwards instead of going public.
