From wire reports As Washington intensifies its scrutiny of the initial public offering of Facebook, the company's bankers are facing questions about whether the process - even if perfectly legal - was fair.
In an article I published a couple of years ago with my colleague Stan Fawcett, we surveyed 336 chief financial officers about their perceptions of the initial public offering process. The academic article is published in the Journal of Finance, February 2006 issue. We surveyed three types of CFOs: those who had recently completed an IPO, those who had recently withdrawn an IPO attempt and those who had never tried to conduct an IPO.
DETROIT - General Motors Co. on Wednesday filed the first batch of paperwork required by regulators to sell stock to the public, a step that brings the automaker closer to its goal of shedding government ownership. The 700-page registration form, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, begins a process that will lead to an initial public offering of GM's stock. No date was set for the sale, but experts say the IPO could come as early as October.

Google's initial public offering, based on a controversial auction process, originally valued the company's shares at $108 to $135 per share. Google later announced that the share price would be between $85 and $95 per share. In response to the announcement, Google shareholders reduced the amount of shares they were willing to sell by more than half to 5.5 million.
Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission on Wednesday granted American Water Works Inc. the last of 13 state approvals it needed to divest itself from German utility giant RWE, and the action could affect about 800 residents of Collier and Washington County. The Vorhees, N.J.-based company now can continue transitioning to public ownership, a process that will involve an initial stock offering, CEO Donald L. Correll said. The PUC voted 3-2 with commissioners Kim Pizzigrilli and Terrance Fitzpatrick objecting to part of the decision dealing with retirees' benefits. All five commissioners, however, agreed to modify an initial decision to allow Pennsylvania American Water Co. to provide water service, without initial customer contributions, to parts of Collier and Mount Pleasant and Hanove...
SAN FRANCISCO -- The smart money is betting that the smart money will prevail in the Google auction. And that, experienced investors say, could be good even for the little guys.
