Difficult stock market, global volatility, causes companies to stall going public in 2015
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The volatile trading that defined 2015 led to a very choppy market for companies wanting to go public.
The number of U.S. companies that successfully made an initial public offering of stock in 2015 dropped by more than 40 per cent compared with 2014, according to a report by IPO research firm Renaissance Capital.
The amount raised was considerably less as well, falling to $30 billion in 2015 from $85.3 billion. The drop-off was the result of significantly reduced ambitions from companies as they hit the market, as well as wariness of investors rattled by sharp swings on Wall Street, particularly in the second half of the year.
The August downturn and a U.S. market correction in September convinced a lot of companies to put their plans to go public on hold, Renaissance Capital said.
“For the first eight months of the year, the IPO market was on target to reach over 200 IPOs with solid returns, but went into a tailspin in August and September that wiped out positive performance, drove abnormally high IPO discounts and brought issuance to a near halt by year-end,” the firm said in its report…

On the last trading day of the year, Canada’s currency, benchmark stock index and main export are all poised to finish 2015 in much worse shape than the start of the year.
2016 may be the year when everything becomes wonderful. But financial publications have been full of warnings about the things that could go horribly wrong. Here is a sample.

Can you pick the best stocks for 2016?
– moneysense.ca
Let’s start the New Year with a friendly stock-picking contest. The idea is to build a fantasy portfolio using the 10 Canadian dividend paying stocks in this week’s Safer Dogs of the TSX list.
Each fantasy portfolio will start out with an equal amount of money in the Safer Dogs. The goal is to figure out one stock to sell and one stock to buy. After making that fateful choice, your fantasy portfolio will be fixed for the year with $20,000 in your favourite stock, nothing in the one you sold, and $10,000 in each of the remaining eight.
The 10 stocks to choose from are: the Bank of Montreal (BMO), the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), BCE (BCE), CIBC (CM), National Bank (NA), Power (POW), Royal Bank (RY), Shaw (SJR.B), TELUS (T), and TransCanada (TRP). (Additional data on each stock can be found in the table below.)
Which dividend stock would you move money from and which one would you move it to? When you come to a decision, enter the contest by sending an email with the stock you want to “buy” and the one you want to “sell” to normscontest@gmail…
