Facebook Kehilangan 25% Nilai Pasar Gara-gara Harga Saham Turun
Kantor berita Reuters melaporkan, saham situs yang didirikan oleh Mark Zuckerberg itu sempat turun sebesar USD28,65, sebelum ditutup pada USD28,84 atau turun 9,6% dibanding sehari sebelumnya. Menurut koresponden teknologi BBC Rory Cellan-Jones, penurunan tidak terlepas dari debut harga saham Facebook yang memang langsung melemah.
Di bagian lain,Wall Street Journal melaporkan, penurunan saham Facebook diperkirakan karena investor khawatir masa depan situs tersebut terutama terkait rencana masuk ke pasar smartphone dan perangkat mobile lainnya guna menggenjot pendapatan. Pasalnya pasar tersebut kini sudah didominasi oleh perusahaan saingan yakni Google Inc dan Apple Inc.
“Situasi tersebut adalah perubahan yang luar biasa dari beberapa pekan terakhir, ketika penjualan saham Facebook melebihi ekspektasi,” ujar dia setempat. Sejak melantai di bursa, kapitalisasi pasar perusahaan berusia delapan tahun itu telah bertambah hingga menjadi USD104 miliar.IPO tersebut juga disebut-sebut sebagai yang terbesar kedua setelah Visa Inc.
Tetapi,merosotnya harga saham Facebook akibat pilihan perdagangan. Sementara, jejaring sosial terbesar di Rusia,VKontakte, menyatakan menunda bahwa rencana IPO karena khawatir perusahaan dapat tertimpa masalah yang sama dengan Facebook.“ IPO Facebook telah merusak keyakinan dari investor swasta terhadap situs jejaring sosial,” ungkap Chief Exe-cutive Officer VKontakte, Pavel Durov, dalam pernyataan resminya di situs microblogging Twitter.
Hanya kurang dari dua pekan setelah penawaran umum saham perdana (initial public offering/IPO), Facebook Inc kini kehilangan 25% nilai pasar atau setara dengan USD25 miliar.
Hal tersebut disebabkan anjloknya saham situs jejaring sosial terbesar di dunia itu di bawah USD29 untuk pertama kalinya pada penutupan perdagangan Selasa (29/5). Angka sebesar itu jauh di bawah harga saat IPO pada 18 Mei lalu yang dibuka sebesar USD38 per saham dan menjadikan nilai pasar perusahaan berkode FB itu menjadi USD104 miliar.
“Facebook jelas melihat pasar smartphone sehingga berusaha menjadi lebih terintegrasi secara vertikal dengan penggunanya.Mereka hanya tidak ingin aplikasi seperti itu menjadi milik Google atau Apple,”papar Chairman Jacob Internet Fund,Ryan Jacob. Dia menambahkan, spekulasi bahwa Facebook tengah berkecimpung di luar keahlian utamanya telah mengganggu beberapa investor.

Harga mukena dan selendang yang dibordir itu dijual mahal.

"Untung mereka cukup besar," katanya.
Pedagang Malaysia itu semakin untung besar, karena ketika memasuki Medan mereka juga berdagang barang-barang buatan Malaysia khususnya sepatu dan sandal merek Vincci yang cukup digemari warga Sumut.
Rahma mengakui, meningkatnya permintaan dari pedagang Malaysia itu, membuat pedagang di Pajak Ikan Lama dan di pasar lainnya juga memesan banyak produk tersebut ke pengrajin di Sumut dan Sumbar.
Biasanya, kata dia, para pedagang sudah memiliki pengrajin mukena dan selendang masing-masing sehingga ketika banyak pesanan, permintaan itu bisa dipenuhi.
Kepala Dinas UKM dan Koperasi Sumut, Joni Pasaribu, mengatakan, hasil kerajinan termasuk bordiran memang menjadi salah satu andalan usaha UKM dan koperasi di Sumut.
Sejak dulu, kerajinan bordiran sudah menembus pasar luar negeri khususnya Malaysia meski sebagian besar diperdagangkan dalam bentuk kecil-kecilan, katanya.
Pedagang Malaysia mulai memborong mukena dan selendang dengan hiasan bordir buatan pengrajin Sumatera Utara dan Sumatera Barat menyusul semakin dekatnya Puasa Ramadhan.

Devisa itu naik 32,08 persen dibandingkan periode sama 2011 yang masih 82,639 juta dolar AS.

Golongan barang itu juga menjadi penyumbang terbesar dalam devisa Sumut yang pada triwulan I sudah mencapai 2,638 miliar dolar AS.
Wakil Ketua Dewan Minyak Sawit Indonesia, Derom bangun, mengatakan, tahun ini, India diperkirakan akan membeli 7,1 juta ton CPO atau naik dari tahun lalu yang masih 6,75 juta ton CPO.

Selain itu BEP juga memiliki dua usaha transportasi di Kalimantan Timur yang memiliki jalan angkutan yang akan digunakan untuk mentransportasikan batubara BEP ke wilayah pesisir.
Ketujuh konsesi, bersama dengan konsesi-konsesi batubara yang berada di dekatnya, membentuk satu deposit batubara termal yang sangat besar. SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd mengestimasi bahwa ketujuh konsesi BEP mengandung total sumber daya sebesar 9,53 miliar ton menurut standar JORC.
Pada 2010, Adaro Energy menunjuk Marston, perusahaan geologis international yang berasal dari St. Louis Missouri, Amerika Serikat, melakukan studi untuk memeriksa asumsi teknikal tertentu yang digunakan oleh SRK dalam laporan sumber daya JORC tahun 2008 dan 2009.
PT Adaro Energy tandatangani perjanjian opsi berjangka waktu tiga tahun untuk mengakuisisi kepemilikan pengendali atas perusahaan pertambangan batubara PT Bhakti Energi Persada (BEP).
"Kami puas dengan Perjanjian Opsi BEP yang sudah kami tandatangani. Kami meyakini BEP memiliki potensi yang bagus dalam mendukung tercapainya tujuan utama kami untuk menghasilkan nilai yang berkesinambungan dari batubara Indonesia," kata Presiden Direktur Adaro Energy, Garibaldi Thohir dalam siaran pers di Jakarta, Rabu.
Ia mengaku, pihaknya bernegosiasi selama dua tahun untuk mencapai perjanjian yang disusun secara unik guna meminimalkan resiko bagi Adaro.
"Kami gembira dengan kesempatan ini, disamping itu kami juga harus menekankan bahwa kami akan menggunakan penilaian terbaik sebelum menyuntikan dana untuk mengembangkan aset-aset BEP," katanya.
Garibaldi Thohir menambahkan, investor perusahaan seharusnya tidak mempunyai persepsi bahwa setelah Perjanjian Opsi di tandatangani, perusahaan akan langsung menempatkan modal untuk mendanai BEP.
"Kami menandatangani Opsi ini untuk bisa memanfaatkan kesempatan dengan baik, dan juga meminimalkan resiko bagi modal Adaro. Kami ingin memastikan bahwa resiko akuisisi dan pelaksanaan dapat diketahui jauh lebih awal," katanya.
Pemilik saat ini, kata dia, menghindari benturan kepentingan pihak-pihak yang memiliki hubungan istimewa.
"Kami telah mempersiapkan transaksi ini selama lebih dari dua tahun. Dalam jangka waktu tersebut kami secara aktif melibatkan para pemegang saham dan meminta masukan atas ide untuk mengakuisisi BEP," paparnya.
Ia mengatakan, perseroan mendapatkan usulan-usulan yang baik, kemudian dipertimbangkan saat melakukan negosiasi dan strukturisasi transaksi BEP.
"Pesan utama yang kami terima dari pemegang saham adalah supaya transaksi dijalankan secara transparan dan memastikan harga yang wajar," kata dia.
