But the response to two of the newly public companies shows that investors continue to be careful about where they place their bets. This week was the second-biggest for new issues — with five IPOs — since the market began heating up in mid-September. There have been 22 new offerings so far this quarter, compared to just one in the final three months of last year. There are more than 90 companies in the 2010 IPO pipeline. "This week has been a preview of coming attractions next year," said John Fitzgibbon of IPOScoop. "There is a demand for IPOs."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:39:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slight Decline In Colorado October Unemployment]]></title><guid>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Slight.decline.in.2.1324501.html</guid><link>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Slight.decline.in.2.1324501.html</link><description><![CDATA[A shrinking labor force and about 1,000 new jobs have helped put Colorado's latest seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for October at 6.9 percent, a slight decrease from the previous month, the state Department of Labor and Employment said Friday. "The main reason our unemployment has been falling is because of people dropping out of the labor force," said Alexandra Hall, the chief economist for the Department of Labor and Employment. Colorado's labor force — the number of people with jobs or looking for work — has declined by more than 81,000 since last October, when it was at about 2.7 million, according to state employment figures.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:57:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[BC-CO--Denver Area Cash Grain, CO]]></title><guid>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Colorado.United.States.2.1324849.html</guid><link>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Colorado.United.States.2.1324849.html</link><description><![CDATA[]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:04:13 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kansas City Cash Grain]]></title><guid>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Kansas.City.cash.2.1323195.html</guid><link>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Kansas.City.cash.2.1323195.html</link><description><![CDATA[Wheat 15,813 bushels: 7 cents lower to ¾ cent lower; No. 2 hard 4.90-5.04¾n; No. 3 4.79-5.03¾n; No. 2 red wheat 5.08-5.69¾n; No. 3 red wheat 4.97-5.68¾n.

"The decline in farm income related to pullbacks in agricultural commodities from last year continues to weigh on the rural, agriculturally dependent economy," Creighton University economist Ernie Goss said. The Rural Mainstreet survey's overall economic index rose to 38.4 this month from 37.5 in October and 36.5 in September, but it remained in negative territory below 50.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:01:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[BC-CO--Denver Beans, CO]]></title><guid>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Colorado.United.States.2.1324258.html</guid><link>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Colorado.United.States.2.1324258.html</link><description><![CDATA[]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:26:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cloud Peak Energy Falls In First Day Of Trading]]></title><guid>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Shares.of.Cloud.2.1324205.html</guid><link>http://cbs4denver.com/wireapbusinessco/Shares.of.Cloud.2.1324205.html</link><description><![CDATA[Cloud Peak Energy shares are falling in their first day of trading Friday after the U.S. coal producer's initial public offering priced below expectations.

Media mogul John Malone told The Associated Press that he could see the new DirecTV, the nation's largest satellite TV provider, collaborating more closely with phone companies to offer Internet and phone services that compete with cable TV operators. But he was vague on whether or not he would seek a sale. "We do bundling. We do product development directly with them. It's a major source of new subscribers for DirecTV," he said. "Whether it would lead to consolidation, that's speculation."]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:10:59 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
