So viel für Börsengänge

As you probably remember, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) Standort LinkedIn went public in May under the symbol LNKD. Its IPO (initial public offering, or first release of shares in the stock market) was valued $45 per share. Later that day, LinkedIn shares were trading at $122.
