From the IPO to the First Trade: Is Underpricing Related to the
Trading Mechanism?
Sonia Falconieri, Albert Murphy and Daniel Weaver
As documented by a vast empirical literature, IPOs are
characterized by underpricing. Most of the theoretical literature
has linked the size of underpricing to the IPO procedure used on
the primary market. In this paper, by using a matched sample of
NYSE and Nasdaq IPOs, we show that the size of underpricing
also depends on the trading method used in the IPO
aftermarket.
There are two major methods of opening trading of initial
public offerings (IPOs) in the U.S. The NYSE is an order-driven
market ...56... a call auction allows supply and demand to be
aggregated (at one location) prior to the start of trading. ...57... ,
Nasdaq is a quote-driven market. Dealers can only specify their
best quotes, and participants have ...58... idea of supply and
demand away from the inside quotes.
We propose a new proxy for ex ante uncertainty of firm
value and test it. Our results show that there is a larger level of
uncertainty at the beginning of trading on Nasdaq than on the
NYSE. This in turn is associated with larger levels of
underpricing for Nasdaq IPOs. We suggest that this may be due
to the different informational efficiency of the two trading
systems.

Michael R. Bloomberg is the 108th Mayor of the City of
New York. He was born on February 14, 1942 to middle class
parents in Medford, Massachusetts, where his father was the
bookkeeper at a local dairy. Mayor Bloomberg's thirst for
information and fascination with technology was evident at an
early age, and led him to Johns Hopkins University, where he
parked cars and took out loans to finance his education. After
his college graduation, he gained an MBA from Harvard and in
the summer of 1966, he was hired by Salomon Brothers to work
on Wall Street.
He quickly advanced through the ranks, and became a
partner in 1972. Soon after, he was supervising all of Salomon's
stock trading, sales and later, its information systems. He was
fired in 1981 after another company acquired Salomon. Michael
Bloomberg used his stake from the Salomon sale to start his
...39... company, an endeavor that would revolutionize the way
that Wall Street ....40.... business. As a young trader, he had been
amazed at the archaic nature in which information was stored.
When he needed to see how a stock had been trading three
weeks earlier, he had to find a copy of the Wall Street Journal
from the date in question, and the records system consisted of
clerks penciling trades in oversize ledgers. ...41... , he created a
financial information computer that would collect and analyze
different combinations of past and present securities data and
deliver it immediately to the user.
In 1982, Bloomberg LP sold 20 subscriptions to its
service; 20 years ....42... , Bloomberg LP has over 165,000
subscribers worldwide. As the business proved its viability, the company branched out and in 1990 Bloomberg LP entered the
media business, launching a news service, and then radio,
television, Internet, and publishing operations.
Nearly 20 years after its founding, Bloomberg LP now
employs more than 8,000 people − including 2,500 in New York
City − in more than 100 offices worldwide. As the company
enjoyed tremendous growth, Michael Bloomberg dedicated more
of his time and energy to philanthropy and civic affairs. His
desire to improve education, advance medical research and
increase access to the arts, has provided the motivation for
much of his philanthropy.
The Mayor served as the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of Johns Hopkins University until May 2002. Recently,
he was honored by Johns Hopkins University, when its School of
Hygiene and Public Health was renamed "The Bloomberg
School of Public Health," a tribute to his leadership and use of
philanthropy to improve the human ....43... .
In 1997, Michael Bloomberg published his autobiography,
Bloomberg by Bloomberg. All of the royalties from sales of the
book are donated to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Alice Walker (born February 9, 1944), an American novelist, short story writer, poet,
and social activist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Walker)
We Alone
We alone can devalue gold
by not caring
if it falls or rises
in the marketplace.
Wherever there is gold
there is a chain, you know,
and if your chain
is gold
so much the worse
for you.
Feathers, shells
and sea-shaped stones
are all as rare.
This could be our revolution:
to love what is plentiful
as much as
what's scarce.

The Latest Avatar 3
Adapted from the internet
The latest Avatar 3 updates have confirmed that Captain Mick Scoresby (Brendan Cowell) will return for Avatar 3. This could spell either good news or bad for the next Avatar instalment, as his storyline was similar to Quaritch’s in that it was presumed he bit the dust, only to come back for another sequel. In addition, Zoe Saldana recently gave a filming update while speaking to Entertainment Tonight. While director James Cameron had stated that filming is nearly done for Avatar 3 back in 2020, Saldana reported to ET that the crew was going back to film for the summer, and that the process was “70% done there”.
That being said, conflicting Avatar 3 updates come from a Q&A session with producer John Landau, who said that Avatar 3 and the first act of Avatar 4 were filmed simultaneously with Avatar 2. Either way, the consensus is the sequel is nearly done with the filming process. In the same Q&A, Landau revealed that Avatar 3 will introduce two new Na’vi cultures. "But we're going to meet at least two new clans in the next movie, culturally, and go on and on as we continue that," Landau said. Likely one of these new cultures will be the fire Na’vi, of which Oona Chaplin's Varang will be a part of.
In addition, other Avatar 3 updates have confirmed two major character returns. The first is that of Avatar: The Way of Water's breakout character Payakan, the gentle and intelligent Tulkun. In an interview with The Wrap, Landau confirmed that Payakan would be back for Avatar 3, saying, "I always viewed Payakan a little bit like Lassie. And I would say this is a story like a boy and his dog, and they’re both outcasts, and they need each other." In the same interview, Landau also stated that the Avatar secondary villain Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), who was absent for the sequel, would come back in a major way for Avatar 3.
