In 2007 Initial Public Offering (IPO) activity in the United States was the highest reported since the dot-com boom in 2000. It was initially expected that during 2008 both the debt and equity markets would be more stabile, thereby fuelling even more IPO activity.  Unfortunately, this year’s financial meltdown has slowed the IPO pipeline to a trickle. As of December 2008 only 14% of the IPO filings this year were ever priced.
