Direct public offerings, free writing prospectuses, Vonage, and SOX
Back in 2001 I published an article entitled Going Public Through an Internet Direct Public Offering: A Sensible Alternative for Small Companies? DPOs had been (and continue to be) touted as a financing alternative for a small company that needs capital but can’t attract angel or VC financing or an underwriter to take it public. ...

Ribstein Responds: Lawyer Licensing Continued
In my first post on the economics of lawyer licensing (and in the comments) as well as my subsequent response to the Wilson/ Ribstein Point of Law discussion, I mentioned that this is an area where empirical evidence should add significantly to the debate since we have a good deal of variance in state restrictions ...

Directors skip Home Depot’s annual shareholders’ meeting.
According to today’s W$J (see here), only a single director (the Chairman and CEO) attended Home Depot Inc.’s recent annual shareholders’ meeting, and he refused to answer questions as to why the other directors were not there. A commentor to this post about Halliburton’s annual shareholders’ meeting asserted that “[t]he purpose of the meeting is ... Directors skip Home Depot’s annual shareholders’ meeting.
Robinson-Patman Act Repealed!
Ok, not really. But the Antitrust Modernization Committee voted overwhelmingly in favor to repeal the Act (HT: Antitrust Review).

Martha Stewart to Fight Civil Insider Trading Charges
As Lisa Fairfax notes over at the Glom (see here), Martha Stewart has decided to fight the civil insider trading charges filed against her by the SEC in June 2003 (more here).

Lay *and* Skilling Found Guilty
See here! Skilling was found guilty of 19 counts (incl. conspiracy, fraud, false statements and insider trading). Lay was found guilty on 6 counts (fraud and conspiracy). I imagine both men will make model prisoners, although Lay might be the better prisoner, since he is very good at closing his eyes to bad things and ... Lay *and* Skilling Found Guilty
Vonage IPO flop magnifies FWP snafu.
As you’ve probably heard, Vonage’s IPO was a flop. It closed down 12.6% from its IPO price of $17. This represented the weakest first day performance of an IPO in nearly two years. It also greatly magnifies the apparent technical violations of the Securities Act I blogged about yesterday (see here). As Voange disclosed in ... Vonage IPO flop magnifies FWP snafu.
Lawyer Licensing: Where's the Data?
Larry Ribstein and Jonathan Wilson are discussing the merits of lawyer licensing at Point of Law. I am especially interested in the discussion of whether lawyer licensing actually protects consumers of legal services from dishonest and incompetent lawyers. Wilson argues that removal of lawyer licensing may well result in lower prices for legal services, but ... Lawyer Licensing: Where's the Data?

Some Reactions to FTC Report on "Gouging"
I posted on the FTC Report findings earlier. In sum, the FTC was able to identify only isolated and sporadic incidences of pricing behavior which were not explained by changes in supply and demand conditions at the local, regional, and national level. In addition, the FTC investigation did not reveal any antitrust violations. The reactions ... Some Reactions to FTC Report on "Gouging"
W$J Letters to the Editor; Organ Sales; Prostitution
You might have noticed that prostitution was on my list of things to talk about while blogging on truthonthemarket. Had I been blogging a decade ago, both prostitution *and* organ sales would have been on my list. You see, I have maintained for over a decade that the Supreme Court’s plurality opinion in Planned Parenthood v. ... W$J Letters to the Editor; Organ Sales; Prostitution
