It seems that CBeyond has become my most important driver for posting, at least they provide sufficient news to blog about. Reuters reports on CBEY cutting the IPO price from initially $16-$18 per share to $12-$13, after previous cut on Oct. 27 to $13-$14. That's a lofty discount of 25%-28%, or some $25 Mio. to $30 Mio. less cash, as 6,058,823 shares are planned to be sold. I guess then that institutional investors were not impressed by Cbeyond's roadshow and/or have lost their appetite in VoIP shares and are scared off by commodization tendencies in the VoIP market. If I were Bain Capital, I would be getting nervous sitting on my Vonage stake....
