How long does it take to finish an IPO. If you IPO 1 million shares through Morgan Stanley. When does it end? After they sell off all the shares? It is a "nice" business doing IPOs. When you look at IPO of VISA, it took over 30 years to build the company. IPOed at $44 the price never got below $59, mostly stayed above $62. This means 40% of the $19 billion dollars raised. 30 years vs a few days or maybe months. Financial system to economy is like cardiovascular system to human body. But 40% over few days or maybe months... Nice!
