Yet as Wall Street has come under increasing scrutiny amid accounting scandals, insider-trading and conflicts of interest, auctions are gaining support as an alternative to the "old boy's network" of Wall Street as a more equitable way for firms to raise capital, and allow many people to invest rather than a favored few.


Exactly why Google is thinking about a Dutch auction. Hell I would too. Mucho profit for the company and shareholders. Also lets the shareholders decide the value once trading starts and raise more share purchases. Profit. Profit and yep more profit.

Congrats on the 300th post

My favorite line is the last one:

"A Dutch auction will get you closer, more quickly to what the market believes the price should be," he said.


Down with the "old-boys network"!

Maybe Google is hopeing for alot of uneducated shareholders that think Google makes billions because movies use terms like "Google it!".

Also the NYSE is notorious for under-pricing online companies. So Google wants the public to decide instead.

Any Joe with a credit card can buy shares without having to deal with the NYSE.
