Dot-com bubble 2.0 called Facebook

I want to share with you my pervert point of view on ongoing dot-com bubble 2.0. As you could  notice, there was an IPO (initial public offering) of Facebook and it was overpriced. Who certainly has profited was Mark Zuckerberg - CEO of company and other employes who has been given so called employes' shares. IPO was priced at 38 USD, but according other analytics the real price was something around 28-29 USD for share.

No wonder, Zuckerberg just used oportonity to gain more money. After previous IPOs of social media related companies such as LinkedIn and Zynga which prices climbed up rapidly after market-opening, overpriced Facebook wasn't too confidential.

This kind of stock like Apple, Google and now Facebook are so called cool stock - every of retail investor must have it. And retail investor usualy doesn't know how to calculate price of stock. Upcoming IPO of Twitter will be probably much more difficult than previous.

Another side of this business is an institution that is in the role of guarantor. In this case was Morgan Stanley - American multinacional financial services corporation (not only investment banking). The Facebooks' IPO was a great example what this company is doing for living. Take money from dummy "investors".

But on another side it is problem of people what to do with their savings and one of the simpliest way is to get rid of the money - usualy unconsciously. They trust their stock market broker or in this case multinational financial services corporation with Name and after expected decline they will sue them. But getting rid of the money is what people usualy do in their lifes. We are working like slaves in our jobs and than we spend all salary for buying useless stuff like home theatres or in advanced case Lamborghinies for feeling a little freedom in our lives but who profit from this are only those big multinational financial services corporation and they're making of us more slaves that we are willing to admit.

And Facebook? There are two ways what company will do with money "gained" in IPO - free cashflow to firm and free cashflow to equity. They have now 4 bilions USD. What with them? Buy 4 Instagrams? Buy back or dividend are too far and right now too unreachable. But who knows. 

Homeless in São Paulo returned 20.000 BRL to owner?

Lately, a Brazilian mass media showed up story of homeless couple living on the street who found stolen money from robery. And guess what. They have returned money for owner of the robbed restaurant.

For those of you who can speak portuguese http://g1.globo.com/sao-paulo/noticia/2012/07/moradores-de-rua-encontram-r-20-mil-e-os-entregam-para-pm-em-sp.html

It seems like urban legend, huh? Or Brazilian TV Globo doesn't have enough topic to talk about in Jornal Nacional? Do you guys think that Brazilian people are too good? Or TV are just trying to "educate" people, that normal Brazilian would return money?

It's almost impossible describe how Brazilian medias are making too much noise about it. And just for the record, according all information Globo and other BR TVs are private.

Reconstruction of the favela house

I have delay of writing my blogposts almost because of reconstruction my (ex)girlfriends' house here in Rocinha. This is something that I never did except wall painting so I'm a bit slow. I was without internet connection and used internet only for important things like doing some SEO for my other websites.

So about that house reconstruction, i will post photos when i will have more time. My (ex) girlfriend has house in Rocinha, but it was occupied by tenants. But since she is in Brazil more than 7 months she asked her house back.

House was totally broken and I've been told that I can fix it. I didn't hasite and did whatever I could. I took almost 3 weeks but I'm "proud" of me...

Yeah and for the record, tomorrow I'm going to Ipanema again ask for new job. Wish me good luck ;)
