    VMWare IPO

    Reply Quote
    Does anyone know anything about the upcoming IPO of VMWare? Currently it's part of EMC and they have applied for an IPO equaling around $10 million. I've read that many analysts feel that within 1 year, that same offer will be worth about $10 billion. What do you all think about this leader in its industry?

    From $10 million to $10 billion in one year--does that make any sense?  I am personally not a fan of IPO's, but based on that statement alone, I'd be inclined to give this company a wide berth.

    Obviously I think there is a lot of doubt that it's going to rech $10 billion. My question is whether anyone knows anything about this company, and if they think it would be a wise investment, even if it was short term. The research I've done is that this company is a leader in it's industry, with basically no competition. I'm not too good at the financial research, so I haven't done that yet. I was just curious about what other people thought about this company.

    This is a awesome company. I have been using their product since the early 90's and you would be a fool not to invest in the IPO. EMC is on the exchange and is also a good stock purchase. VMWARE was the first company to create the virtual desktop and server.

    Wow!  You would invest in a company without reviewing financials--just based on a product?

    I think that when the company is AWESOME you don't have to worry about mundane issues like valuation.  Think about it.  You could have bought EMC for $100 in 2000 and each of those shares would be worth $17.79 as of yesterday's close.  How's that for AWESOME?

    I feel perversely comforted by your post!  I just hope that there are many thousands, no hundreds of thousands, of investors out there, just like you! <vbg>

    First I would not buy a company without looking at their financials but I would definitely look into buying VMWARE because I know where their technology is headed. Sounds like uncle billy made a bad stock purchase in 2000. I don't care how a company performed 7 years ago just how they perform now and in the future.

    In your first post you said that "you would be a fool not to invest in the IPO."  Now you say you "would definitely look into buying" it.  Which is it?  Care to continue?

    I will continue. I didnt know that VMWARE was going to IPO and if they do I will look into buying and will more than likely invest if I have the funds. See below a little lesson for you. EMC = STRONG BUY. You care to continue?

    First you would be a fool not to buy it.  Then you would look into it.  Now you will more than likely buy it if you have the funds.  Then you point to analyst recommendations to support the idea that EMC is a buy  ROTFLMAO.  You must be very new to this.

    When I read the post, I took it that tongue was firmly in cheek.

    With due respect to your abilities, no one knows where technology is going.  If a person did, he or she wouldn't be posting on Zecco.  <g>

    Thanks for the giggle.

    It has been shown many times, that there is little correlation between analyst recommendations and stock price performance.   I frankly hope many people "invest" in such companies.  I hate it when good companies are oversubscribed!
