As we move deeper into the second half of the year, we're seeing a robust IPO market that has been able to shake off 2012's Facebook IPO shame.
So far this year there have been 116 debut offerings, the strongest pace since 2007.
As Money Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon explained earlier this week in his Private Briefing investment service column, the IPO market in 2013 is "white hot."
From Bill's analysis: The market has locked and loaded on about $4 billion in U.S. IPOs so far this year, Bloomberg News reports. At that pace, companies "going public" would raise the most this year since at least 1999, the financial news service says.

Three More for Your IPO Calendar
On Thursday, April 18, we will see an IPO from Taminco Corp. (NYSE: TAM), which produces alkylamines and alkylamine derivatives. These are used in the manufacturing of products for the agriculture, water treatment, personal & home care, animal nutrition and oil and gas end-markets. They help neutralize acidity, and remove contaminants from a wide range of products.
Taminco is the dominant player in a niche market with few competitors, giving it substantial pricing power, according to the prospectus. Most raw material price changes are easily passed on to the end consumer.

The IPO market is off to a solid start in 2013, with more upcoming opportunities to mark on your IPO calendar.
There have been several successful offerings so far this year that have rewarded investors with quick profits. Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (NYSE: BFAM) was priced last month at $22 a share, and has delivered a 27% gain already. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: NCLH) was priced at $19 in mid-January and has already soared 39%.
The number of deals so far has been fairly small, but investors' appetite for IPOs remains strong as we move into February.
With the stock market reaching five-year highs, the IPO market in 2013 is expected to be more robust than last year.
In fact, strong IPO performance at the end of 2012 has given hope that the IPOs of 2013 will take off after hitting the market.
"To me, it feels like a meaningful shift in the market," said Tom Murphy, a partner and head of the securities-capital and markets group at law firm McDermott Will & Emery. "With those companies [that had great IPOs], all in very different industries, getting out at the top of their ranges, and above, is a really strong signal."
If you want to be an IPO investor with hopes of getting the hot deals, it pays to keep your eye on the new issue calendar and watch for small deals that make sense as long-term investments.
In the next two weeks there are two deals scheduled that may be of interest to you.
Let's take a look.
