I don't think this IPO is even going to happen. Nail is running around like a chainsaw maniac attempting to cut people down faster than we are losing customers and money, in a vain hope that we can be profitable just long enough to dump on some poor Wall Street investors somewhere. In the process he is causing manic chaos everywhere. Nobody seems to know how things work anymore, everyone is just trying to duck and cover. Entire departments are getting axed from one legacy organization and the one from the other legacy company gets grafted in, totally oblivious to how things were done before, and everyone just fights. It doesn't help that IT has been run into the ground just about everywhere, and they are running out of duck tape to keep the mess of tinker toys together. We are selling capabilities we don't have, and then everyone fights over who will build that stuff out yesterday.
The markets are already showing signs of hesitation. It looks like 2006 ish to me, when things were just starting to go wrong. We are already far beyond the typical lifespan of an economic cycle, really only propped up by an ungodly amount of tax cuts and deficit spending. If we hit recession anytime soon as it should, the IPO will never happen and we be in bankruptcy. We will all get to work one day and the doors will be padlocked.
I think I should cash out my 401k and buy some collateralized debt obligations. They should be safe.
