More on IPOs: Supply & Demand in the U.S. Stock Market
More and more people are making the IPO case for 2007, with a bullish CNBC piece yesterday, and the following factoids from Trimtabs today:
"... shares outstanding in the U.S. contracted by at least $600 billion this year -- roughly 3.1% of the market's total value, according to TrimTabs.
"The U.S. equity market hasn't shrunk by that much in at least a decade. In 2005, the market contracted by roughly 2% and by less than 0.1% in 2004, TrimTabs estimates. From 1999 through 2003, the market expanded every year. (Percentages are based on the market capitalization of the U.S. equity market at the end of each year.)"

"More and more people are making the IPO case for 2007 ..."
Sounds like a perfect contrary indicator.
