It was the famous English pundit - F.E. Smith who coined the astute observation in today's headline. And as the economimc world slowly melts down, history tells us that excitement about the prospect of IPOs will be replaced by scrambles for secondary capital and a general hunkering down where anything to do with capital markets is concerned. Accordingly I expect Aim4tech to join the rest of the market in the bunker while the planet travels through the storm of storms. However, even in a storm, accurate climatological measurement is vital and so the blog will go on to maintenence mode,providing monthly data until things pick up. From now on, we will show two graphs each month:
- AIM market activity showing listings and, more importantly, money raised;and
- hens' teeth - or rather IPOs - whenever there are any!
For this first tick-over month we'll show the year to date IPO slides before it gets easy and remember to click on a slide to zoom in. Here's to a V curve and a soft landing!
