1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
The biggest surprise to me was when I read that there were 868 IPOS in 1996. I can't rationalize or understand why were there so many public offerings during that year. I know that majority of them failed before the start of Y2K, but still its a huge number to consider when you think of the costly disadvantages that's associated with IPO.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The most confusing part of the chapter was the private placements section. It claims that the Small Corporate Offering Registration (SCOR) is "easy enough" for an experienced accountant and attorney.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
In "Global Perspective," the author describes the story of wealthy man who uses his finances to fight terrorism by providing opportunities for citizens to find gainful employment. I would like to ask the author what are the social and economical drawbacks, if any, of engaging in this financial opportunity?
It seems like a big uphill battle for individuals to receive financing for their start-up business. If you just graduated from college, how would you go about starting your business?
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How
I don't entirely disagree with myth 5: venture capitalists need only basic summary information before they make an investment. I think it's possible for entrepreneurs to come up a with attention grabbing plan without going into elaborate details of their plan.
