CFO Blog: Commentary and Opinion

I'm way behind on my reading as well as my blogging. So I just saw that Monday’s WSJ (no link but see the deals column on C5) reports that the surge in private-equity offerings is having an unintended benefit for companies going public. According to the report, the increasingly viable alternative of going private instead is forcing banks’ to reduce their standard 7 percent underwriting fee on more and more public offerings.

Will wonders ever cease?
