OT: Re: Curious about IPO

[Justin Oelgoetz <oelgoetz 1 osu edu>]

FYI: If you buy more than a certain percenatge (I think 5%) of a company's
stock, you have to publicly disclose your intentions by law.  Because we
haven't heard of any take over attempts or any massive investments (It
would make the financial section of the news) you can assume no.  After
all Redhat has been one of the few impressive IPO's this summer.  CNBC
seemed to give it fair coverage.
