GoogleのIPOに遅れ

米Wall Street Journal紙によると、米GoogleのIPOに遅れが生じるという。オークション方式のIPOという全く新しい方式を採用していることもあり、手続きに時間が大幅にかかっているという。

Google's much-anticipated and idiosyncratic stock offering is unlikely to be ready to begin trading next week, as some people familiar with the offering had thought. Those involved in the planned Google Inc. initial public offering of stock, which will utilize an auction system and requires participating brokerage houses to use different technology, said a number of kinks in the system had yet to be ironed out. Specifically, the process of registering bidders for the IPO auction is taking longer than anticipated, according to a person familiar with the matter.
