the mile of the century Fifty years ago today, Roger Bannister, the first man to break the 4-minute mile, and John Landy, who beat his record a month-and-a-half later, squared off in Vancouver BC to determine who was the fastest runner in the history of the world, in what is arguably the most dramatic sporting event of the 20th Century. The record for the mile has gone down astonishingly through the years, but are there limits on how low it can go? (View video of the historic Bannister vs. Landy matchup here.

The Story Behind The Story Of The Google
IPO?

The Story Behind The Story Of The Google
IPO? 07/26/2004 12:14 PM
This morning, it seems like the big Wall Street tech story is the official release from Google about what they think they'll raise from their IPO. Looking over all the different coverage, it appears that many (especially in the financial press) seem to be getting the story a little mixed up. The basic facts seem to be that approximately 24.6 million shares will be put on the market with a range of $108 to $135 per share. As noted in the story, some seem to think that breaking $100 may prove to be a psychological barrier for many retail investors, even if the actual price per share is meaningless. Still, if the price is a psychological barrier, rather than a calculated decision, the investor probably shouldn't be buying anyway. A minimum bid from anyone must be for five shares, so anyone who wants in is spending over $500. The range is higher than expected, and could lead to a valuation pushing $40 billion. One analyst makes the bizarre statement that: "The question is not what the company is worth, but instead what people will pay for it," which misses the fairly simple, but important, point that the price people are willing to pay for the stock is what the company is worth. Meanwhile, many news articles are claiming that Google will raise $3.3 billion in the offering, which is not true at all (or at least, extremely unlikely). The details show that Google is likely to bring in about $1.66 billion (and possibly as high as $1.9 billion at the top of the range). That's because only 14.1 million of the 24.6 million shares are actually being sold by the company. The other 10.5 million are being sold by insiders. Now, that's a curious point that no one seems to be focusing on. While insiders do sometimes sell during an IPO, it generally doesn't look too good. While there are plenty of reasons (liquidity, liquidity, liquidity) that people might want to sell, usually insiders get locked up for a bit. It does happen, but in this case, an awful lot of that $3.3 billion (or whatever the amount actually is) isn't going to the company, but to others. The initial IPO filing tried to spin all this insider selling as a good thing, but that's pretty questionable. If people really believe in the stock, why are so many selling it at the very first chance they get? Doesn't inspire the most confidence in the world.

13th-century standards

13th-century standards 04/26/2004 08:53 AM
Traveling in France in 2001, I visited Chartres Cathedral and was lucky enough to show up in time for Malcolm Miller's lecture. Seemingly unchanged from the last time I'd seen him, in 1978, Miller again made the architecture and stained glass come alive in his inimitable way. This time, though, I heard something I hadn't the first time -- about standards. When the construction project drew in artisans from the 13th-century French countryside, the first order of business was to agree on standard weights and measures. I wonder what those negotiations were like! ...

"Your talent is so great that you can expect fruit and vegetables to be thrown at every performance." Long before William Hung haunted the American music scene, there were The Cherry Sisters, a Vaudeville act that people loved to hate. A review that read, in part, "Th e mouths opened like caverns, and sounds like the wailing of damned souls issued therefrom," so offended the sisters that they launched a lawsuit which resulted in an historic ruling regarding fair comment. Oscar Hammestein II proclaimed them "the worst act in the history of light entertainment." Alas, no recordings exist.
