When Tech Confidential spoke with BlueLithium Inc. CEO Gurbaksh Chahal in May, he acknowledged receiving feelers from potential buyers, but said the behavioral advertising firm was focused on an IPO in early 2008. Whether that was a subtle negotiating ploy or the company’s actual strategy is uncertain, but BlueLithium is now a part of Yahoo! Inc. after it was...

TheSteet.com ran an article Wednesday about how tech IPOs increasingly favor insiders and leave the small investor out in the cold. Maybe there is a "growing disinterest" toward small shareholders, but Tech Confidential was surprised that the article brought up the recent VMware IPO as an example of this.

It was only a matter of time after VMWare Inc.'s stunning IPO that someone would write something about happy days being here again. But the Investor's Business Daily piece that uses the cliché seems particularly shortsighted, coming at a time of such turbulence in the stock market.

3PAR Inc. filed on Tuesday to raise  $100 million via an initial public offering.

A 76% gain on a day when the stock market suffered deep losses is certainly nothing to sneeze at. We have to believe that if the rest of the market did not fall apart, the first-day performance of virtualization software maker VMware Inc. would have been even better.

Indeed, it's up, up and away for VMware Inc. in the virtualization software company's first day of public trading. After opening at $29, at press time the stock was up a Googlesque 52% [scratch that], 64% [sorry, not high enough], 74% to trade at $50.47.
