How can you use “hambrecht” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Salon , he says, is bankrolled by companies run by Clinton donors--Apple (Steve Jobs), Adobe (John Warnock), and Hambrecht & Quist (William Hambrecht, now retired).
Hambrecht, the investment bank that is attempting to transform the IPO process by replacing the traditional method of allocating shares and setting opening prices with what's called a Dutch auction.
The first, and more mundane, point is that you have to have a brokerage account with Hambrecht to participate in its IPOs, so the number of potential investors in any Hambrecht offering is significantly smaller than the number of investors who might be interested in that offering.
But Hambrecht's Dutch-auction strategy has gotten off to a slow start because its first two IPOs, for Ravenswood Winery and Salon.com, were relative busts, at least in the sense that neither company has seen a significant gain over its offering price.
It suggests, as I argued at the time of Salon.com's IPO, that the problem with the earlier Hambrecht offerings was not the Dutch-auction idea, but rather the quality of the companies that were going public.
