This bull market is getting a little old in the tooth.
Are we getting to the point where there's a little too much exuberance and some point to these IPOs and stock sales as a sign of that?
Well, it signals enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is generally good for companies, for investors, for the overall business environment.
The question is, are we getting to the point, this bull market is getting a little old in the tooth, are we getting to the point where there's a little too much exuberance and some point to these IPOs and stock sales as a sign of that?
So the numbers are pretty dramatic.
US companies are expected to issue a net $500 billion of new equities over the next year.
And that compares with a net reduction of a trillion dollars of equities in recent years, mostly from stock buybacks and such.
So in other words, instead of reducing the total amount of shares out there, as we've been doing year after year after year, now we're adding to the supply, which just raises concerns for investors.
Agreed.
You don't want to get too bearish here.
Even the Cassandras say, don't sell everything.
But there is reason for caution.
The reason for caution is sort of basic supply and demand, as we all learned in Economics 101.
When there's overwhelming supply, when there's a surge of supply and demand is constant, there could be problems for price.
And in this case, we are seeing surging supplies of stock.
So far this year, we've already had about $350 billion of new shares sold to investors.
That's more than the full year 2003, 2004, 2005.
In late 1999 and early 2000, we did see new stock being offered, sold to investors.
And that's the reason why there's some concern today.
