Stay Away from Alibaba and the Forty Institutions, says Knightmare on Wall Street Author Edgar Perez

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global expert, author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”.

New York, NY, USA (September 19, 2014) — A few months ago, markets witnessed the IPO of Weibo, China’s Twitter-like microblogging service; back then, Mr. Edgar Perez, course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, proclaimed the firm’s best days were still ahead. With 129 million monthly active users, 300 million registered users and 400,000 brand pages, Weibo remained the strongest social media service for the biggest country in the world. Following their successful April debut, Chairman Charles Chao said that in retrospect their IPO, at $17, was priced too low. However, that proved beneficial for those investors who decided to hold; they are still able to sell at $21.

Demand for Alibaba’s shares appears strong ahead of its expected IPO this Friday. Alibaba said it planned to price its shares at $68, an increased level that would give it a valuation of about $165 billion. There is no doubt the company is a global leader in the e-commerce sphere handling a number of transactions higher than Amazon and eBay combined. However, is that still a good price for retail investors considering the bump that will follow the beginning of trading?

Further clouding the picture, it has been revealed that a number of early investors in Alibaba would be able to sell more than $8 billion worth of shares on the day the Chinese e-commerce company goes public. As The Wall Street Journal reports, insiders and other investors in companies staging initial public offerings are generally required to hold on to shares for several months, in “lockup” arrangements banks design to help protect the stock’s price in its early days. More than 40 investment firms have asked for more than $1 billion.

However, in Alibaba’s case, a number of shares equal to about a third of what could be sold in the deal aren’t covered by such restrictions, according to the company’s public filings. Mr. Perez is questioning why would insiders, the people who are expected to know the company upside down, want to rush to unload their shares if BABA promises to be such a great investment.

Mr. Perez concludes: “Alibaba’s high-profile deal, which could raise as much as $25 billion and potentially be the biggest in history, is not for retail investors. It will probably hit the $100 level on its first day, yet, that will only benefit insiders (who might sell immediately) and well-informed institutional investors (hedge funds and sovereign wealth-funds that might want to hold long-term). Potentially buying BABA at $100 is a scary proposition for retails investors who would rather think of less well-known firms that stand to benefit from the interest generated by juggernaut Alibaba in the ever-growing e-commerce arena.”

Mr. Perez is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”, seminar that covers the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil. The “flash crash”, the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital’s trading malfunction and Nasdaq’s Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants.

Mr. Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert and speaker in the specialized areas of algorithmic and high-frequency trading. He is the author of The Speed Traders, published in English, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia, and Knightmare on Wall Street. He contributes to The New York Times, UltraHighFrequencyTrading.com and China’s International Finance News and Sina Finance.

Hero Singer Mariah Carey and The Speed Traders Author Edgar Perez to Present in Singapore on October

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global expert, author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”.

New York, NY, USA (September 19, 2014) — October seems to bring a lot of surprises for citizens of the Lion City. On October 24, 44-year-old Mariah Carey will perform in Singapore; she has been in showbiz for more than 25 years and has sold more than 220 million albums. Just the day before, October 23, 40-year-old author Edgar Perez will present The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”.

In an interview with Channel News Asia, Carey revealed the secret to longevity in the music business. It is her ability to “transcend trends” and having a whole lot of “commitment”, she said. “Longevity is something that is very difficult to obtain in this business because a lot of the music business, particularly now, is about trends. And a trend is a trend because it lasts for a moment and then it’s gone.”

“There are people who transcend trends and typically they are the people who have a catalogue of songs that people love or a voice that people have learnt to love over the years, that’s just like embedded in people’s ears, brains and hearts like a soundtrack to people’s lives. I really think that we never know who’s going to have what type of longevity. It’s really about your commitment to the music and your commitment to your fans and yourself and how much you are willing to give up. There are really a lot of talented people out there, it just depends on how much they want it.”

Perez’s The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore (http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com) will cover the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil. The “flash crash”, the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital’s trading malfunction and Nasdaq’s Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants coming from all corners of the financial services landscape.

Mr. Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert and speaker in the specialized areas of algorithmic and high-frequency trading. He is the author of The Speed Traders, published in English, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia, and Knightmare on Wall Street.

Smart Regulation Crucial for Growth of High-frequency Trading in Singapore, says Expert Edgar Perez

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global expert, author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”.

New York, NY, USA (September 16, 2014) — Wall Street’s biggest high-frequency trading spokespeople are taking more fire lately from proactive regulators seeking to eliminate “abuses” in the controversial HFT markets. For instance, one HFT group that executes stock orders on high-speed platforms is trying to enlist experienced Washington players to defend its practices in the corridors of power.

Regulators are circling the wagons indeed. BATS Global Markets is said to be nearing a regulatory settlement over allegations it unfairly favored certain high-speed customers. This follows the abrupt departure last month of its CEO, Bill O’Brien, of CNBC fame. At the same time, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and the SEC are pressing forward as some of the biggest dark-pool operators, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Barclays, are caught in the crossfire.

According to Mr. Edgar Perez, sophisticated regulation is necessary in Asia to avoid controversies as the ones mentioned above. Mr. Perez is the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools” (http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com). This seminar covers the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil. The “flash crash”, the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital’s trading malfunction and Nasdaq’s Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants.

Knightmare on Wall Street, the fascinating story of Knight Capital put together by course director Edgar Perez, was the most favorably reviewed Kindle edition book on Amazon in 2013, with an average rating of 5 out of five stars. Knight Capital had seen its fortunes change as U.S. regulators made a series of changes in the structure of financial markets and computers were progressively expanding their share of trading. The Flash Crash, the notorious 1,000 point drop of the DJIA on May 6, 2010 (the largest one-day point decline in history), illustrated how market structure problems could almost instantaneously cascade from one market participant to the rest.

Mr. Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert and speaker in the specialized areas of algorithmic and high-frequency trading. He is also author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia.

Chinese E-commerce Juggernaut Alibaba Set to Boost IPO Price Despite High-frequency Trading Concerns

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global expert, author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”.

New York, NY, USA (September 16, 2014) — China’s biggest e-commerce company plans to increase the top end of a marketed price range to just below $70, from $66 previously. According to Reuters, Alibaba worried about Nasdaq’s ability to handle their $21 billion IPO, since the exchange botched Facebook’s market debut two years ago. Nasdaq tried to persuade Alibaba that it had fixed the problem but it is not clear whether they were swayed. One source said that Alibaba eventually was satisfied that Nasdaq had solved the issue and chose NYSE because its overall pitch was better. Another said Nasdaq executives believed that Alibaba decided that the possibility of a botched IPO, however small, outweighed the possible benefits of being in the index.

Nasdaq systems buckled under the tremendous volume of orders on the first day of trading in Facebook’s shares in 2012, leading to hours of delay. In its current presentation to Alibaba, Nasdaq detailed the steps it had taken to prevent another Facebook-style glitch said. The exchange has said it responded to Facebook by putting extra safeguards in place, creating new positions within the company to improve communications with the industry and regulators when errors occur, and establishing an engineering team to monitor and analyze daily performance.

At the end, Alibaba chose NYSE; according to Mr. Edgar Perez, course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”, that is the reason why Alibaba shouldn’t worry about high-frequency trading, as NYSE systems have demonstrated time-tested resilience in the IPO process.

The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore (http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com), covers the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil.

Tokyo’s Terra Motors decided the world’s first mass production of Electric 3-wheelers in Asia

Leave a comment

Terra Motors decided the world’s first mass production of Electric 3-wheelers which can be charged by AC power. Terra Motors’ prototype is completed this April, and they plan to produce 10,000 sets of electric 3-wheelers in 2013.

In Asian countries, 3-wheeler market has expanded rapidly, because it is cheap and freight is large, compare to cars. For example, in India, the number of three-wheelers is increasing twice by these five-years. And the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh also shows the same transition.

It is thought that electric-ization of the three-wheel taxi in Asia progresses rapidly, because of aggravation of air pollution, the high price and constant shortage of gasoline. For example, in India, gasoline cost has increased also 2.5 times by these ten-years, so the demand to the cut in fuel consumption by electric-izing is serious. By replacing a three-wheel taxi to electric one, the annual income of taxi driver can be raised by about 3 times.

They plan to establish branch office in India in this summer, and aim at world top share acquisition in 2014.

I rather be a dog

Leave a comment

Any time soon, this young 24 yrs old Malaysian boy, convicted of drug trafficking, will be hang till death do him part by an unidentified Mr. Hangman in Changi Prison, Friday morning @ 6 am sharp.

If no one comes to his rescue soon, he’ll definitely and surely be under water very soon!

Supposing we see someone drowning like this, will we immediately dive in and rescue him from near death? Or will we ask questions first before we can help rescue him, questions like, “Who is he?”, “How come he’s in the water?”, “Did he fell into the water or was he pushed in?, “Is he rich or poor?”, “Where is he from? He looks like he’s not from this region.”, “Maybe he’s a ex-criminal wanting to commit suicide? Must have done a lot of bad thing in his life one la. That’s why this is call ‘retribution’ la. Ah… just let him drown la. He deserves it one la. Don’t care for him la. Just let him die la.”

Huh?

I don’t get it. People saved a dog but they won’t save a fellow human being from near death! Strange. So does that means that the dog’s life are more precious than human beings’ life?

If it is, than I rather be a dog then. At least I’m assured that I’ll be rescued and loved by human beings, unlike them human beings who weren’t rescue their own human beings. We dogs saves dogs you know.

Duh…
