The number of IPOs in 2008 thus far is the smallest in ten years. During the first seven months of the year, only 25 companies went public. July had one IPO, the fourth consecutive month with only a single offering. Media reports about IPOs have almost disappeared. Nikkei Veritas alone is still publishing articles about the IPO market. But this company is having difficulty finding subjects to write about, just as I do with my monthly report.
