ARM Holdings just had an initial public offering (IPO), and ARM stock is now available on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Take the poll and in the Comments section, let us know how you feel about ARM going public.
Sometimes I take a cynical view on such things. This time around, though, I went the other way. I think this will make ARM even stronger. The influx of money will be good for R&D. When people get excited with a stock its total stock capitalization can exceed its earnings by a factor of a thousand or more.... and as long as growth continues this lopsided valuation continues. In the long term though today's hi tech giants will be perceived much like General Electric is viewed today and come back down to earth. Oh look at that. My cynicism came back.
