... profits are illusory for Etsy, one way or another. On last year’s sales of about $196 million, it lost $15 million. But its initial public offering should help it raise cash to expand its business — and for investors willing to put in the time, commitment, and handiwork, some slow-grown, sustainable shareholder earnings should come their way.

...r Etsy is trading its hand-knit shawl for a three-piece suit. The Brooklyn-based firm has filed to go public, with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Allen & Co. managing its initial public offering.
