Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

    Creating business ventures for IPO’s is an industry that depends not on the actual performance of the created business venture but rather the equity market conditions. Venture capital is all about quick large returns or getting even and the last of course is about losing the investment.
    IPO’s tend to create instant money used by various stakeholders to buy various RE, boats etc, the kind of luxury buying the central bank craves.
