Fantasy just may be the cure to what ails you in this economy. Changyou.com, master of massive online role-playing games, finished Q2 up a whopping 140% after opening trading on the NASDAQ at $16 per share. Nearly a dozen companies priced in the quarter, a nice turn of events compared to recent quarters. Not so nice was how investors treated Chemspec International, which is a China-based manufacturer of specialty chemicals. Shares opened on the NYSE at $9 a share. Investors yawned, as shares closed down at $8.40 per share by close of the quarter.
