“Ever since December, IPO analyst David Menlow has been waiting
for the inevitable slowdown in the IPO market. … For the time

chance of a correction setting in next week, when approximately 17
companies are planning initial stock offerings.”

“Besides Infineon, Menlow expects a few other companies to
weigh in with splashy debuts.

software developer Caldera Systems
, networking products
supplier RADVision.com, and lastminute.com, a European firm that

IPO calendar includes sizeable offerings from cut-rate computer
manufacturer and Linux software and services provider
LinuxCare
, and search engine Alta Vista, among others.”
