As you can see, in 1996 this number peaked around 8,000,

and they're going to get a really big, because there's

So this is the same thing that potentially

is going on with the stock market, which is

There's less companies available for the public

Now, this is causing a little bit of concern.

Even regulators have talked about it a bit.

But frankly, the trend isn't going to reverse itself

until the public markets become a popular pond for companies
