Anthos, The World On-Deck: TGLO

Deep dive into why this “dot-com bubble” company stock (theGlobe.com) is a stronger buy in 2019 than it was 21 years ago when it made IPO history.

Tradingview.com recalls that TGLO trading began on “02 Nov ‘98” at 17.500000 (what we assume to be USD) — 11 days before the historic IPO that was documented on Nov 13, 1998 in many places. If privately held as of November 2, 1998 — why is there trading data for TGLO at all? Let’s find out…

Wikipedia begins its entry for theGlobe.com with information that is commonly known among those familiar with the dot-com bubble marriages of Silicon Valley, tech entrepreneurs, and Wall Street banks:

theGlobe.com made headlines by going public on November 13, 1998 and posting the largest first day gain of any IPO in history up to that date (Wikipedia)
