Another BlackStone, market top, moment? -------------------- Carlyle prices IPO below range at $22: WSJ LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch)-- Private-equity firm Carlyle Group's initial public offering late Wednesday priced at $22 a share, below the company's expected range of $23 to $25, according to a report in the online version of The Wall Street Journal. The final price came after some mutual-fund investors pushed for a better deal, according to the report, which cited unnamed people familiar with the matter. People close to Carlyle said the firm could have priced the IPO in the original range, but it wanted to attract some larger investors who wanted a lower price. Carlyle's IPO will still be the largest so far this year. The shares are scheduled to begin trading Thursday on the Nasdaq under the symbol "CG".
