Tuesday, January 1, 12:20 PM Among strategy ETFs, IPOs (FPX +28.9%) and spin-offs (CSD +26%) outperformed in 2012. Volatility ETFs got clobbered, VXX -77.6% and VXZ -53.9%. See the full table of strategy ETF performance here. Comment!
Thursday, January 19, 2012, 9:40 AM Defining overbought as being more than 5% above a 50-day moving average, Bespoke says 24% of tracked ETFs fit the bill. Leading the list is the homebuilders (XHB), more than 13% above its 50 day MA; Brazil (EWZ) leads the country ETFs, 8.2% above. A few more days of market gains and look for talk about the entire market being overbought. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 2:21 PM For the third straight year, Hong Kong raised more IPO capital than any other financial center on the planet; its $30.9B in 2011 raised funds edged out New York's $30.7B, and easily outpaced London's $18B. Between them, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen raised $73B from IPOs - a level that suggests China's emergence as the preferred destination for raising capital may come sooner than some expect. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 10:00 AM Though 2011 was a mixed year for tech IPOs, 2012 could be better, in part thanks to the expected offerings of numerous Internet companies. Facebook is easily the largest of the bunch, but others, such as Yelp, ExactTarget, Glam Media, and Eloqua, could also make a splash. (earlier) Comment! [Tech]
Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 3:52 AM Despite much talk about an IPO comeback, this year will close out with fewer IPOs than there were in 2010, while money raised in the offerings will be ~6% lower than last year and ~40% below the 2007 peak. Among companies that did manage a U.S. offering, around 2/3 are now trading below their IPO price. 2 Comments
Thursday, June 16, 2011, 4:12 PM Pandora (P) finishes -23.9% to $13.26. LinkedIn (LNKD) -8.5% to $68.27 in sympathy. First Trust's IPO Index ETF (FPX -1.9%), though, was spared much of the carnage as IPOs can only enter the tracking index after six trading days. 1 Comment [On the Move, Tech, Top Stories]
