Word on the Street

Nov. 7, 2011
"At the end of the day, the fundamentals of a company are what matters to investors."– Alan Auerbach, CEO of Puma Biotechnology Inc., arguing that it doesn't matter whether a firm goes public via IPO or reverse merger"We don't want everyone going public.

You can't rent that person out."
