Public vs. Private Offerings Public offerings: registered with the
SEC and sale is made to the investing public.
Shelf registration (Rule 415, since 1982) allows firms to register an offering and sell parts of the offering over time.
Private offering: Sale to a limited number of sophisticated investors not requiring the protection of registration.- Dominated by institutions.- Very active market for debt securities.- Not as active for stock offerings.

Investment Banking and Security Offerings Underwritten vs. “Best Efforts”
Underwritten: firm commitment on proceeds to the issuing firm.
Best Efforts: no firm commitment. Negotiated vs. Competitive Bid
Negotiated: issuing firm negotiates terms with investment banker. Usually a 7% spread.
Competitive bid: issuer structures the offering and secures bids (more common in bonds than stocks).

The Specialist at the NYSE Handles around 10-20 stocks (one per
specialist) Stocks trade at the “specialist’s post” “Makes a market” by matching
buyers/seller and by buying/selling from own inventory
Goal is to “maintain a fair and orderly market” so that price changes are smooth
Specialist loses money when smoothing the market, but makes it back during normal conditions
