Algorithmic and High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies
to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX", Warsaw,
Poland, May 11, and Kiev, Ukraine, May 18, 2012.
(May
5, 2012, New York) -- As reported by Bloomberg, Facebook Inc.’s
$11.8 billion initial public offering will cement the status of
27-year-old Mark Zuckerberg as one of the world’s richest men and
put his social network among the highest-valued companies in the U.S.
Facebook is offering about 337.4 million shares for $28 to $35 each,
according to a regulatory filing yesterday. At the upper end of that
range, the co-founder’s stake would be $17.6 billion, making him
richer than Microsoft Corp.’s Steve Ballmer and Russian steel
billionaire Vladimir Lisin, who are both twice his age, according to
the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Zuckerberg,
who began the service for Harvard classmates as a 19-year-old in his
dorm room, built Facebook into the most popular social-networking
site in the world, topping 900 million users last quarter. Now he has
to prove he has the leadership skills to deliver enough growth to
justify the company’s valuation, said Paul Saffo, managing director
at Discern Analytics in San Francisco.
That
being said, investors and traders in Poland and Ukraine will be
paying close attention to Edgar Perez’s The Speed Traders Workshop
