“Everybody loves a comeback story, and the IPO market’s 2004 victory was especially sweet—a total of 238 companies went public and raised $45.2 billion. The number of done deals almost equaled the total of those priced in the previous three years, combined….(A)s Sinatra would say, it was a very good year.”
