<blockquote><p><em>First of all, we must say it is a compelling read with some disturbing trends and conclusions that vividly show that the US has experienced serious decline of leadership in the IPO market, and overseas markets have seen rapid growth in IPO listings, especially in Asia, where listings have more than exceeded their strong GDP performance. &#8230;<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Doubtless, there is a crisis in the US IPO markets, and this issue is getting compounded each year. If action were not taken now, the US could lose the lead it has held for decades in global capital markets. The situation is dire indeed, and all regulators and lawmakers should react to save the US from certain followership.<br />
This report is a must-read for all players in the capital market space, and we trust you will find the results equally astounding.</em></p>
<p><em><br />
Clearly, this is a wake up call for America, and the title does full justice to the seriousness of this problem.</em></p></blockquote>
