    You've Got Mail by Nora Ephron & Delia Ephron Based on: The Shop Around The corner by Nikolaus Laszlo 2nd Final White revised February 2, 1998 FADE IN ON: CYBERSPACE We have a sense of cyberspace-travel as we hurtle through a sky that's just beginning to get light. There are a few stars but they fade and the sky turns a milky blue and a big computer sun starts to rise. We continue hurtling through space and see that we're heading over a computer version of the New York City skyline. We move over Central Park. It's fall and the leaves are glorious reds and yellows. We reach the West Side of Manhattan and move swiftly down Broadway with its stores and gyms and movies theatres and turn onto a street in the West 80s. Hold in front of a New York brownstone. At the bottom of the screen a small rectangle appears and the words: ADDING ART As the rectangle starts to fill with color, we see a percentage increase from 0% to 100%. When it hits 100% the image pops and we are in real life. EXT. NEW YORK BROWNSTONE - DAY Early morning in New York. A couple of runners pass on their way to Riverside Drive Park. We go through the brownstone window into: INT. KATHLEEN KELLY'S APARTMENT - DAY KATHLEEN KELLY is asleep. Kathleen, 30, is as pretty and fresh as a spring day.

  • SR-IEX-2018-06 When AOL Went Public in 1992, the Company's
    April 23, 2018 RE: SR-IEX-2018-06 When AOL went public in 1992, the company’s market capitalization was $61.8 million. In 1999, it was $105 billion. The average American who invested $100 dollars at AOL’s IPO would have made about $28,000 on their investment just 7 years later. Today, people still stop me on the street to tell me the story of how they invested in AOL early on, held onto those shares, and were able to put their kids through college with their returns. This kind of opportunity is virtually nonexistent for the average American investing in today's public markets. Companies are no longer going public in early growth stages as AOL did. From 2001-2015, the average company was 10 years old at IPO. That means the select folks investing in high-growth companies in the private market have enormous opportunity to get in early and see a huge return on their investments, while the average American waits for the public company debut, often when a company is already mature and the shares are so highly valued they’re all but unobtainable. So why are companies waiting so long to go public? There are many contributing factors, but I believe many public companies are concerned about subjecting themselves to the short-term interests of transient shareholders. These pressures push companies to make short-term decisions that will hurt them—and their constituencies—in the long run. Companies are responsible for putting a greater focus on how their strategic plans affect society beyond the bottom line.
