Stepping out and passing through the pillared porticoes was a Who's Who of Swiss society-the head of state, national sports icons, former ministers and army generals-all of whom had come to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Werner Spross, the owner of a huge horticultural business empire. As one of Zurich's wealthiest and best-connected men, it was perhaps fitting that 650 of his "close friends" had been invited to attend the event, a lavish banquet followed by a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Defiantly greeting the guests were 200 demonstrators standing in the square in front of the opera house. Mostly young, wearing scruffy clothes and sporting punky haircuts, they whistled and booed, angry that the opera house had been sold out, allowing itself for the first time to be taken over by a rich patron. They were also chanting slogans about the inequity of Swiss society and the wealth of Spross's guests. The glittering horde did its very best to ignore the disturbance. The protest had the added significance of being held on the tenth anniversary of the first spark of the city's most explosive youth revolt of recent years, The Movement.

  • 01 Killian 13 12/14/00, 2:04 PM Black 14 IPOS for EVERYONE
    How the IPO Market Works 13 SECRET 1 How the IPO Market Works It should come as no surprise that New York City was home to the first hot U.S. initial public offering (IPO). In the spring of 1791, the first Bank of the United States (BUS), which was the young American government’s new central bank, began plans for a stock subscription to raise $10 million. When the stock subscription—what Wall Street bro- kers called IPOs back then—was launched in July, it sold out in an hour. The lucky purchasers of BUS stock were the U.S. government itself, buying $2 million worth of shares, and the powerful, London-based Barings Bank, which scooped up the rest. The shares, priced at $100 each, quickly shot up to $185 before dropping back to $130 that Sep- tember. Until BUS was forced to go out of business by the federal gov- ernment in 1811, its shares were a popular speculative stock for New York’s stock market participants, who traded shares at the Merchants Coffee House at the corner of Wall and Water streets. The great success of the BUS offering spurred other entrepreneurs to organize banks and raise money. Following a pattern that would be repeated many times over the next three centuries, the first companies to go public in a particular business sector are usually the strongest, and they are quickly followed by weaker and weaker fry. The Bank of New York, today a staid New York institution, became the first company to trade on the new New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1792.

ETH NO. 26989 REGULATION OF DISINTERMEDIATED FINANCIAL ECOSYSTEMS A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCES of ETH ZURICH (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) presented by ERASMUS ELSNER M.A, University of Zurich born on 13.08.1985 citizen of Zurich accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Stefan Bechtold Prof. Ryan Bubb Prof. Christoph Stadtfeld 2020 Abstract The overarching theme of this PhD thesis is the analysis of the interplay between regulation and financial intermediation. The research focuses on the analysis of the role played by security laws and industry-specific financial regulation in shaping the allocation through either the firm or the market. Through a law and economics perspective, the thesis tries to answer two related questions in the realm of both equity and credit markets. Firstly, it tries to establish how different regulations impose (implicit or explicit) prices on transactions and thereby either promote a market-based or a firm-based allocation mechanism. Secondly, for the competing allocative regimes, the thesis questions how the presence of both positive and negative externalities of firms and markets may favor a particular allocation mechanism. The PhD project is divided into five separate chapters, with each one examining different aspects of the law and economics of financial intermediation.

Copyright 1969-2016 Carnegie Mellon Computer Club. All Rights Reserved. Background ● Initially, consumer Internet use would have been mostly limited to college students and defense employees. ● Why? Computers were still pretty expensive, and access to the real Internet was difficult for average consumers to get even if they had the money. – The death of 8-bit home computers unfortunately came before the price of Windows PCs and Macintoshes got close to their price point. – On-Line Services targeted at consumers, such as AOL and Genie, didn't actually give their customers access to the Internet, instead providing a “walled garden” experience and maybe e-mail to the outside world. Best Buy flyer from 1996 showing sale prices of some basic desktop computers. Note that the Macintosh is more expensive and doesn't include the monitor. Background ● However, in the mid 1990s on-line services such as AOL and Genie started giving their users access to the actual Internet. – They also undertook extensive marketing drives, distributing install media everywhere and giving away free trials. – Initially, these free trials didn't even require a credit card, so some people would just sign up for another account whenever their free hours ran out.

  • Bold New Series from National Geographic — Valley of the Boom
    Bold new series from National Geographic — Valley Of The Boom — delivers the drama of Silicon Valley’s internet pioneers during the dot-com boom and bust; premieres in Asia on January 13, 2019 Set during the 1990s in Silicon Valley, the six-part limited series stars two-time Emmy award-winning actor Bradley Whitford, Steve Zahn and Lamorne Morris, with Showrunner Matthew Carnahan and Executive Producer Arianna Huffington. HONG KONG, JANUARY 7, 2019 – Silicon Valley spawned some of the world’s most influential people and recognizable brands during the 1990s and attracted geniuses and charlatans alike. It is also where the new phenomenon of the overnight tech millionaire was born. Using a blend of narrative devices and interviews with the real subjects and experts woven into scripted drama, showrunner, creator, director and executive producer Matthew Carnahan (“House of Lies”) charts the meteoric rise and cataclysmic burst of the dot-com bubble. From STX Entertainment, Valley of the Boom is also executive produced by Arianna Huffington and is set to premiere on National Geographic in Hong Kong and South East Asia on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 10.00 PM (HKT) and on video-streaming service FOX+. The new six-part limited series features an unconventional hybrid of scripted storytelling and documentary interviews with the key players whose stories are dramatized in the show. In the series, Carnahan follows the turbulent ride of three different companies whose founders were trying to change the world using the new technology of the internet. Before Google, Netscape pioneered the first commercial web browser and launched the “browser wars” with Microsoft.
