Ask any CEO who has gone through it: Your life and the life of your company changes forever the day after you go public. This book helps newly minted public companies address the pressures brought by judgmental Wall Street analysts, prying federal regulators, and demanding shareholders. The advice is practical (“Targeting the Best Brokers”), comprehensive (“The Real Challenge of Reg FD”) and world-wise (“My Wife, the Tipster”). Perhaps this should be required reading for any company considering going public.
