He blames the SOX act for decreasing the number of IPOs but they were already down from 100s/year in the 80s to 80 in 2001 (before sox) and this trend continued

He blames the SOX act for decreasing the number of IPOs but they were already down from 100s/year in the 80s to 80 in 2001 (before sox) and this trend continued. He seems to be performing the slight-of-hand anti-regulatory BS that accompanies the right these days: "over here there is a problem - over there is some regulation; wink wink nudge nudge".
- frandroid 12y agoAre you seriously taking the post-dotcom-bubble crash as the boundary to compare the 80s to? I still agree with you, even with your own sleight of hand. :)
- mjburgess 12y agoNo, just two end points to draw a negative correlation between that keeps going today. It isnt hilly. So the introduction of SOX as an explanation for decreasing IPOs is BS.
