The dream of a tech IPO rebound may be on hold thanks to Donald Trump. Venture capitalists and IPO analysts say the tremendous amount of uncertainty around president-elect Trump and his policies could throw a wet blanket on tech startups looking to go public next year. "Risk in the marketplace does matter," says Lise Buyer, founder of Class V Group, which advises companies on public offerings.

"I felt like a human being who had been dropped into a shark tank." Fox News host Megyn Kelly says that's what it felt like when Donald Trump was attacking her in interviews and in tweetstorms. Kelly attracted Trump's ire during the first GOP primary debate in August 2015, when she asked him about his track record of misogynistic comments. Trump criticized her for months afterward, sometimes in highly personal ways, which triggered threats to her safety. "We had secu...More>>
