LinkedIn price hike recalls dotcom boom

The social network raised its IPO price range by 30%, an increase not seen since the dotcom bubble

LinkedIn raised its price range for an expected initial public offering this week by 30%, a strong indication that demand is running high for its shares, and an increase not seen since the dotcom bubble of a decade ago.

The company, which is set to price its shares tonight and begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow, originally planned to sell 7.84 million shares at between $32 and $35 apiece.
