Thank you dear anonymous reader for educating me on this. In the future, I will always get the other side before I pass along information on anything to do with IPOs because I am clearly no expert on the topic.<br /><br />For more (new) information, go here:<br />http://tinyurl.com/ntbbsr<br /><br />Regards,<br />Laurel<br />7/8/09Laurel Delaneyhttp://www.globetrade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685558.post-17312371919308651752009-07-01T09:04:07.955-05:002009-07-01T09:04:07.955-05:00Just received word that Rosetta Stone raised $112....Just received word that Rosetta Stone raised $112.5 million (not $129 million) in the IPO.
