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.

Assalamualaikum dan selamat pagi,

Memang seperti biasa bila dah sibuk dengan kerja dan MBA part time, maka blog ni akan berhabuk seketika...rasa macam byk jer nak post, tapi dengan masa yang terhad dan kepenatan, niat tak kesampaian....hehe...

Anyway just nak update apa yang kitorang sekeluarga buat masa cuti hari tu...ada 2 aktiviti utama...iaitu tgk wayang citer Avengers (bes citer ni, walaupun ada part yang hambar dan boring utk anak2, dlm masa seminggu dah kutip USD180 juta, walaupun belum ditayang di USA)...

9-11.15 pagi
12-2.15 ptg

Good Luck!

Semalam kerajaan decide untuk kekalkan harga minyam RON 95, dengan menambah subsidi sebanyak extra Rm0.10... itu keputusan yang tepat, kerana jika kerajaan naikkan harga minyak kepada RM2.00 maka natijahnya amat teruk dirasai oleh rakyat....mana taknya, harga minyak naik RM0.10 aja, tapi kedai2 runcit, restoran semua cekik darah dengan menaikkan harga barang, naikkan harga nasi, harga ayam goreng, roti telur dan teh ais, etc....

Memang tak dinafikan harga minyak naik, maka kos transport bertambah, tetapi, kos transport hanya la "FIXED COST" dan bukannya "VARIABLE COST"... tapi apa bole buat, peniaga nak jugak buat duit..

So bg mengelakkan perkara tersebut berlaku, maka gomen decide utk tak naikkan harga buat masa ni...

Akan tetapi, kalau harga minyak dunia kekal naik, adakah gomen akan tetap mengekalkan harga? Sukar utk kita predict...

Apa pun, kerajaan ada bagi hint, akan HAPUSKAN SUBSIDI dalam masa 5 - 7 tahun dari sekarang, secara beransur-ansur...

Harga RON95 kekal RM1.90

PUTRAJAYA 27 Mac - Harga petrol RON95 kekal RM1.90 seliter walaupun berlaku kenaikan harga bahan bakar itu di pasaran global ketika ini.

Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob berkata, harga itu dapat dikekalkan selepas kerajaan menambah subsidi sebanyak 10 sen bagi bulan ini iaitu kepada RM1.03 seliter.

"Langkah ini perlu bagi memastikan rakyat tidak dibebani kesan sampingan berikutan kenaikan harga minyak global.

"Kerajaan masih mengekalkan subsidi itu kerana kita tahu kalau tidak dikekalkan, harga barangan lain termasuk yang tidak ada kaitan dengan minyak akan naik sebab apabila kos pengangkutan meningkat, ia akan dimasukkan dalam harga barangan," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas berucap pada Majlis Perhimpunan Bulanan kementeriannya di sini hari ini.

Takkan baca aja kawan2, komen ler sikit ok? :)

Salam all,

Good news kepada pelabur-pelabur Bank Rakyat sekalian... seperti dalam posting saya yang lepas, bonus akan diumum pada 26hb March 2012, dan ianya ternyata tepat, hehe...

Bank Rakyat tadi umu dividen sebanyak 15% dan bonus saham sebanyak 5% bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 2011.

Seperti biasa, keuntungan sebelum cukai selalu menampakkan peningkatan berbanding tahun sebelumnya....

Bank Rakyat untung sebelum cukai dan zakat sebanyak RM2.02bilion bagi tahun kewangan 2011 dan merupakan kenaikan sebanyak 17.6% atau RM301.9 juta berbanding RM1.72 bilion pada tahun sebelumnya.

Mungkin ada orang akan bertanya, bila bole ambik dividen tu? kalau kita lihat dari sebelum2 ni, selalu once diumumkan, kita akan dapat ambil dividen dalam masa seminggu atau dua minggu dari tarikh pengumumam :)

Mungkin ada yg bertanya lagi, apa maksud bonus 5%? Kalau ASB, bonus bermaksud ia diberi utk tempoh 10 tahun kita berada dlm ASB...kalau Bank Rakyat, bonus 5% tu bermaksud, ia tidak diberi dalam bentuk "cash" tetapi accumulated dlm simpanan kita, atau dgn kata lain dia akan reinvest dlm saham kita...so kalau dlm saham bank rakayt kita ada RM10,000, lepas ni ada RM10,500 ler...ianya bertujuan utk retain earnings yang bank rakyat dapat bagi tujuan rolling, etc..

Wallahu'alam...

Salam all,

WIFI percuma atau internet percuma, siapa nak? Sudah tentu semua orang nak kan? Termasuk sy sendiri, hehe...

Bagaimana nak dptkan internet percuma? Senang saja, pindah lah ke area Petaling Jaya...sebab tak lama lagi prkhidmatan WIFI akan diberi percuma di bawah projek Perkhidmatan Awam Berintegrasi Selangor (Spins)... Petaling jaya akan menjadi perintis bandar WiFi....

Baca artikel dipetik dari harian metro di bawah utk maklumat lanjut:

PETALING JAYA: Penduduk di bawah pentadbiran Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) kini tidak perlu bimbang mengenai kos perkhidmatan Internet apabila kawasan tempat tinggal mereka dipilih sebagai perintis projek jalur lebar (WiFi) percuma di negeri itu.

Di bawah projek Perkhidmatan Awam Berintegrasi Selangor (Spins), penduduk Selangor khususnya di kawasan Petaling Jaya dijangka menikmati kemudahan itu di lebih 200 lokasi mulai Jun depan.


Pada pelancarannya baru-baru ini, Datuk Bandar, Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman berkata, projek itu bukan saja di kawasan Petaling Jaya, malah turut membabitkan 4,000 lokasi termasuk kawasan terpencil seluruh Selangor yang kebanyakannya didiami golongan kurang berkemampuan mendapatkan perkhidmatan Internet.

Beliau berkata, ia dijangka siap secara keseluruhannya pada 2015 dengan menyaksikan Taman Datuk Harun sebagai lokasi perintis bagi projek terbabit yang siap pada 29 Februari lalu.


Tinjauan Metroplus ke Taman Datuk Harun, di sini mendapati orang ramai tidak melepaskan peluang menggunakan kemudahan itu di merata tempat termasuk kedai makan.


Ia membuktikan projek terbabit mendapat sambutan menggalakkan daripada orang ramai, malah memudahkan mereka mendapatkan maklumat terkini pada bila-bila masa walau di mana mereka berada.

Bagi penduduk, Adnan Khan Ali Khan, 29, dia gembira dan pada masa sama berbangga apabila kawasan perumahannya dipilih menjadi lokasi pertama pelaksanaan perkhidmatan itu.


Katanya, jika sebelum ini dia perlu membayar untuk mendapatkan perkhidmatan itu, namun melalui pemberian WiFi percuma ternyata mampu mengurangkan kos perbelanjaan bulanan, malah membolehkannya menjalankan urusan harian dengan lebih mudah.

“Oleh kerana saya seorang peniaga, Internet menjadi platform penting kepada saya khususnya dalam membuat pembayaran bil serta mempromosikan produk.


“Justeru, apabila MBPJ melancarkan perkhidmatan mengakses Internet secara percuma, bagi saya ia pendekatan terbaik yang dapat memajukan rakyat di samping meluaskan lagi pengetahuan khusus bagi golongan muda,” katanya ketika ditemui.


Penduduk lain, Muizzuddin Muhamad, 24, berkata, sejak pelancarannya pada 29 Februari lalu, kemudahan WiFi percuma itu terus memberikan perkhidmatan yang baik dengan kelajuan mengakses Internet sangat memuaskan walaupun bilangan pengguna di kawasan itu ramai.


“Saya sangkakan masalah akan timbul apabila ramai orang mengakses Internet pada satu-satu masa apatah lagi kawasan ini penduduknya memang ramai, tertanya kelajuannya tetap sama dan saya cukup berpuas hati.


“Diharapkan kemudahan WiFi ini akan diteruskan kerana ia banyak memberi manfaat kepada penduduk setempat terutama pelajar apabila mereka boleh menggunakan kemudahan teknologi maklumat dengan percuma tanpa membebankan ibu bapa,” katanya.


Syarikat Beta Excelsior Sdn Bhd yang diberi tanggungjawab menguruskan projek berkenaan sudah membina tiang pelbagai guna (Monopoles) untuk menyediakan perkhidmatan ini. Tiang berkenaan boleh berhubung terus dengan pusat kawal selia yang bertempat di ibu pejabat MBPJ. Ini sekali gus boleh membantu Beta Excelsior dan MBPJ memantau sebarang masalah yang bakal berlaku. Alatan penggunaan digunakan adalah peralatan sistem berteknologi terkini yang diperbuat dari Australia. Oleh itu, penggunaan alatan ini mampu meningkatkan tahap teknologi setaraf dengan bandar raya membangun di negara lain.
