Facebook IPO...menarik jugak ni...interesting to know...

Facebook is set to raise the roof off Wall Street with its upcoming initial public offering, which has a target valuation on the social-media giant as high as $110 billion.
To see where Facebook's IPO stands now, here are some questions and answers.
When will the IPO take place?
Latest reports have it as May 18, with the road show taking place May 7 and starting at Morgan Stanley.
Some dates mentioned for the IPO were in late May or early June. The reason there could have been delays for the IPO was because of Facebook's $1 billion acquisition of Instagram and its deal with Microsoft (MSFT - News) (see below).
The Securities and Exchange Commission has to okay the Instagram buy-as well as the Microsoft patent deal- and while both are expected to be approved, there could be some unforeseen complications.
Facebook is still waiting for the official SEC okay but people close to the matter say the company wants to get on with marketing the IPO.
For the record, Facebook filed for its IPO on Feb. 1, 2012.

Why did Facebook buy Instagram before the IPO?
Many analysts believe the move was simply to increase the IPO value of Facebook.
But the deal may have been the sole brainchild of CEO Mark Zuckerberg according to some reports. He evidently informed the Facebook board of directors of the deal after he concluded the negotiations. The board's approval of the deal was described as largely "symbolic."
Instagram is a free photo sharing program launched in 2010 that allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services.
Why did Facebook make a deal with Microsoft on patents?
Facebook is buying a portion of patents from Microsoft for $550 million in cash-patents which Microsoft recently acquired from AOL.
This was mostly a preemptive move, rather than an attempt to create even more IPO value. Silicon Valley patent wars are heating up and Facebook wants to protect itself against some potentially very pricey litigation after the IPO. Along with the Instagram deal, the SEC has to look into this move as well.
How much will shares of Facebook cost?
Recent transactions on the private market put estimates of the price of a single Facebook share at between $38 and $40.
What exchange is Facebook going to list on?
Facebook has chosen the Nasdaq over the New York Stock Exchange. The NYSE is widely seen as the home of the traditional "blue chip" company, while the Nasdaq's reputation is more associated with Silicon Valley - and more to Facebook's image.
Who is handling the IPO for Facebook?
Some 31 banks are advising on the deal, but the main players are Morgan Stanley (MS - News), JPMorgan (JPM - News), Goldman Sachs (GS - News), Bank of America (BAC - News), Barclays and Allen & Company.
How much money is Facebook expected to raise with the IPO?
At least $5 billion, according to most analysts' estimates. That would make it the largest Internet-related IPO on record.
When can investors jump in to buy Facebook stock?
The moment the stock debuts on the Nasdaq.
However, many market experts say that the problem with immediately jumping into an IPO is that insiders, such as hedge fund managers, are buying up shares that push up the price.
Normal traders are advised to wait for a couple of days for the stock price to settle back down.
The General Motors (GM - News) IPO of two years ago is cited as a recent example of seeing a stock price initially go up $6 or $7 higher than the IPO the first day, and then settle back down a day or two later.
Here's a quick look at a couple of recent IPOs and how their stocks have fared:
Yelp-developer of online games, first day (YELP - News) of trading on March 2, 2012:

• Pricing: $15 per share
• First-day's close: $24.58, up 64 percent from IPO price
• Trading range since IPO: $19.36 to $31.96

Zynga - developer of online games, first day (ZNGA - News)of trading on Dec. 16, 2011:

• Pricing: $10 per share
• First-day close: $9.50, down 5 percent from IPO price
• Trading range since IPO: $7.97 to $15.91

How big and profitable is Facebook?
In a word-big and profitable (wait, that's two).
Facebook generated $1.06 billion in revenue during the first quarter of 2012, according to an updated filing for the social network's IPO. (The updated filing is part of the IPO process when a company goes public.) That $1 billion is up from $731 million a year earlier.
A 'negative' for Facebook from the filling shows that while revenue was up 45 percent from 2011, it was down 6 percent quarter over quarter and was still weak compared to analysts' estimates of $1.3 billion.
This is the first time in at least three years that Facebook's revenue is lower versus prior quarter. But it's obviously still a lot of money to make.
The eight-year-old firm has more than 901 million members, and nearly half a billion people around the world log into Facebook every day, according to the latest statistics.
And more Fortune 500 companies have corporate Facebook pages than Twitter aliases, according to Facebook.
Facebook had total revenues of $3.8 billion in 2011, with an operating profit of $1.5 billion.
What happens legally when a firm like Facebook goes public?
The company falls under the guidelines of the SEC. It's already doing so by applying for an IPO as financial filings like the one mentioned above, have to take place.
After the IPO has taken place, Facebook will have to follow disclosure rules like holdings and transactions of insiders or the officers and directors of the company. It will have to disclose its financial status on a regular basis and come under surveillance by the SEC on its trading practices. And of course - it will have to hold shareholder meetings.

Adakah pelancaran projek-projek baharu di bawah Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP) bakal merangsang 'Super Bull Run' iaitu lonjakan saham luar biasa di pasaran saham tempatan seperti yang berlaku pada 1993 dulu....mungkin ramai daripada kita tak pernah mengalamainyer....aku sendiri time tu masih sekolah rendah, mana paham ttg stock market jadah ni, hehe.

Kalau kita buat kajian past hisory dan tengok senario yang berlaku sekarang hampir sama pada 1993 ketika Malaysia merancang untuk melaksanakan projek-projek besar.

Dalam kes sekarang, walaupon kebanyakan projek hanya dilaksanakan setahun kemudian tetapi impak positif terhadap bursa Malaysia dapat dirasa lebih awal.

Kalau ETP berjalan lancar bursa tempatan akan terus kukuh, dan dana luar pun akan mula berminat nak labur dalam BSKL kita...skrg ni dana luar masih tak berapa memberangsangkan sgt...

Secara prinsipnya bila sesebuah dalam prestasi baik, prestasi itu akan digambarkan melalui bursa tempatan dan begitu sebaliknya. So sekarang ni, BSKL dah berada pada takuk yang tinggi, maka ini bermakna ekonomi kita pon sedang berada di puncak...Ada sumber mengatakan ekonomi negara kita skrg ni berada di landasan sebenar...tapi tak dinafikan kadang kala Bursa berada di landasan yang tersasar sikit, samada over value atau under value (semasa market crash)....

Satu lagi, kepada yang tak aware , pasaran saham tempatan akan mendapat rangsangan daripada pelaburan projek minyak bernilai RM20 bilion yang diumum beberapa minggu lepas...pengumumam tu mengejutkan banyak para penganalisis.

Pendek kata, perkembangan ekonomi semasa dijangka mempercepatkan situasi 'Super Bull Run' dalam pasaran tempatan. Leih-lebih lagi, dengan pengukuhan ringgit, kecairan yang tinggi dan kadar faedah yang rendah menjadi situasi 'Super Bull Run' lebih menarik.

Institusi perbankan dan kewangan Malaysia sekarang ni memiliki kecairan sekitar RM250 bilion, menjadikan sektor perniagaan semakin mudah dan selesa. Tambahan pula, dengan kenaikan harga komoditi yang luar biasa menyebabkan ia memberi bonus kepada ekonomi....

Perkara-perkara begini banyak merangsang pasaran KLCI / BSKL kita...akan tetapi, kita kena sentiasa waspada dan usah terperangkap dengan movement KLCI yang terlalu rancak ni....

Aku rasa, market KLCI , malah market serantau tengah tunggu right timing aja untuk menjunam....tengah tunggu wujudnya BAD NEWS, samada bad news itu akan keluar secara kebetulan atau sengaja diadakan atau sengaja diperbesar-besarkan bagi merealisasikan PROFIT TAKING YANG KAW-KAW, atau BIG CORRECTIOn....

AKu jangka kalau ia berlaku, ia akan turun ke paras 1100-1200....Aku jangka ia akan bermula sekitar Mac/April, atau June/July/Ogos ....

Mari kita lihat....

Wallahu'alam...

Apa pendapat anda tentang main saham? Forex? Trade CPO? Unit trust? Halal ke haram ke meragukan ke? Patutkah "main" saham ditukarkan kepada "trade" saham? Siapa rasa ia halal?

Sebenarnya, isu halal haram trading CPO, Forex dan even stock market pernah saya ke utarakan dlm forum dulu, maybe thn 2009. Apa yg saya querykan adalah apabila, jika sekiranya, trader, tutup mata, beli/jual, dan mengharapkan ia naik/turun utk memungut untung....konsep serupa macam beli 4D, dan mengharapkan kena....

Tapi, ia agak lain....kerana, 4d hanya beli begitu saja....tapi forex, saham dan CPO, adalah kita membuat kajian berdasarka candlestick, SMA, EMA, fibo, support/resistance, etc...

Tapi nanti, sura ada yg cakap, 4D pon boleh jugk buat analisis kira-kira...

Pastu bila pikir2 balik....kalau nak disamakan...bagaimana pula orang yang beli TANAH misalnya.....contohnya beli tanah di Dengkil, mengharapkan kerajaan bangunkan pusat kerajaan di situ, tetapi, it's not happening, tetapi putrajaya yag kena strike....atau bagaiamana pula orang yg beli tanah di Bukit Beruntung miaslnya, tengok2 value menurun...adakah ia dikira perjudian???

Sebenarnyer perkara ni agak pening jugak kepala....jika dipikir2 balik, stok market, bila kita beli sesuatu saham, ia ada pengiraan "FAIR VALUE" atau MARKET VALUE", serupa konsep beli tanah...begitu jugak CPO dan Forex...

TApi pulak, FOREX, CPO dan saham, fair valuenyer kadangkala dimain2kan oleh sindiket, naik turun secara mendadak...

So benda2 macam ni, agak ccomplicated utk dibandingkan...

Tapi cuma satu benda yg agak dominant yang dikeutarakan adalah hal2 "TRADE MARGIN" seperti 400:1 utk forex....atau 3:1 utk stock market di Malaysia...hal margin yang orang kata, tidak mengeluarkan MODAL YANG SEBETUL2NYA.....

Tapi nanti keluar pulak issue bagaimana pula orang yang buat PERSONAL LOAN lepas tu beli rumah secara cash?? pon bukan dikira sebenar2 modal dari duit sendiri....

Dan akhira sekali akan berbalik kepada issue pinjaman secara islamic atau convensional....bla bla bla..pjg betul issue ni...

Justeru itu, saya tak berani nak ulas panjang (ni pun dah cukup pjg ulasan gua, hehe)..gua berserah kepada pakar2 agama, atau ulama2 utk membuat kajian terperinci..

Kalau rajin, FOLLOW my blog ok...banyak kisah2 hidupku dengan dunia pelaburan dan dunia penjimatan aku nak pamerkan kat sini..

Any comment? Tulis aja di bawah ni, aku tak marah apa pon komen korang....taip jer apa2 pon, tapi kalau boleh jgn ler letak "ANONYMOUS" aja...letak ler nama korang...

Bursa, ringgit catat rekod

Selalu awal tahun, dan hujung tahun adalah masa yang amat tinggi kebarangkalian untuk stock market mencanak2 naik....kenaikan disebabkan oleh semangat baru, dan mungkin didorong oleh "window dressing" yang dilakuan oleh Fund-Fund Manager...Selalu mereka susun semula portfolio perlaburan mereka time2 camni la..mereka akan beli stock2 berpotensi utk naik....

Selain tu, Bursa saham tempatan dan ringgit naik disbbkan oleh sentimen positif pasaran serantau spt Dow Jones (DJIA), Eropah, Asia, etc dan juga prospek pertumbuhan yang baik.

Selain itu, ada sumber mengatakan, aliran dana asing dah mula masuk ke dalam pasaran dan dijangka ia berterusan.

Kalau kita tengok pemulihan ekonomi di Amerika Syarikat (US) pada tahun ini juga merupakan faktor penyumbang kepada keadaan pasaran saham tempatan. Kalau ada apa2 news yang positif yang berlaku di sana akan meninggalkan kesan kepada pasaran saham rantau dan Malaysia.

So atas faktor2 yg aku mention tu, tak hairanlah kenapa kita tengok Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) naik 14 mata semalam. Paras tertinggi seumur hidup yang pernah BSKL / KLCI capai telah diperbaharui semalam, pada paras lebih kurang 1533...superb....

Tak cukup dengan tu, Ringgit Malaysia juga melonjak kepada paras tertinggi, di mana USD/RM berada pada paras 3.06...tertinggi dalam masa 13 tahun...paling tinggi RM pernah capai berbanding USD, adalah pada paras lebih kurang 2.50 sebelum gawat kaw-kaw pada tahun 1996/1997 tempoh hari....

So sekarang ni adalah masa yang sesuai, kepada yang nak pergi melancong ke US...mana tak nya, duit murah giler bebbbb,...

Stock market pula, skrg sudah dikatakan BULLISH..tetapi masih perlu hati-hati...aku merasakan, KLCI boleh naik lagi ke paras 1,640 maximum, sebelum profit taking kaw-kaw akan berlaku menuju ke paras 1,300....akan tetapi sebelum menuju ke paras 1,640 tu, ada kemungkinan profit taking berlaku dahulu.....

Apa pon, jangan terlalu gopoh dan tamak....

KOMEN LE SIKIT CEK KAK / CEK ABANG OI...takkan baca jer, cuma 2-3 patah pon ok ler...hehe

Salam Semua,

Harga minyak dunia naik lagi, cecah paras tertinggi dalam masa 2 tahun..ia berada pada paras $91.48 ketika blog ini ditaip...kali terakhir ia cecah paras sebegini adalah pada October 2008...selalu kenaikan oil price sebegini, diimbangi oleh matawang USD yang menurun...tetapi kali ini, no significant USD/RM drop...

Apakah maksudnya ni? Apa yang tuan-tuan rasa saya nak sampaikan ni...apa yang saya nak sampaikan adalah, harga minyak di Malaysia mungkin naik lagi...jadi bersiap sedialah, hehe....

Sebenarnyer lebih 6 bulan lepas, saya dah sentuh tentang kenaikan minyak dunia mungkin mencapai paras USD96 per barrel by end of 2010...anda boleh baca di sini:

http://kakilabur.blogspot.com/2010/04/crude-oil-minyak-successfully-break.html


Dalam posting lepas, saya kata, kalau USD85 break, the next resistance adalah USD90...now USD90 pon dah break...so my target to touch USD96 is on the way...adakah my aim itu tercapai sebelum 2010 berakhir? hehe...mari kita lihat...:D

Kenaikan minyak kali ini, didorong oleh 2 perkara:
1) falling US crude oil supply
2) US stock market yang memberangsangkan...

ANtara sebab-sebab lain, boleh baca dalam post sebelum ini yang aku bagi link kat atas tu....

So, apakah persiapan kita kali ini?
1) Isi tangki minyak kereta kasi penuh2, everyday kasi full, sbb anytime gomen mungkin naikkan harga minyak, hehe
2) isi dalam bekas2 tong2 minyak hitam ke apa ke...buat stok simpanan, hehe...
3) beli stock market berkaitan minyak!!! goood idea ke ni?? I think NOW IS NOT A GOOD IDEA...but if you bought stock seperti SAPCRES, DIALOG, Tanjung Offshore, Kencana, Dayang,Deleum, Saag, Perisai, KNM, Shell, Petdag dan sebagainya pada bulan April time aku suggest hari tu, mungkin anda akan senyum skrg, hehe...

Anyway, apakah effect kenaikan harga minyak dunia sekarang ni? gua rasa ni permulaan tanda-tanda, BIG CORRECTION of stock market akan bermula...so sesiapa yang tngah trade or invest in stock market, just BE CAREFUL ok!!!

WAllahu'alam....
