SEPUTAR SAHAM

MLPL-W

2011-02-14T16:36:00.002+07:00

MLPL-W merupakan saham teraktif yg ditransaksikan di BEI hari ini. Dgn harga tebus Rp250 per lembar sebenarnya harga wajar waran ini hanyalah sekitar Rp10 (harga MLPL ditutup di Rp260).

Namun krn jatuh tempo waran ini masih lama yaitu April 2013 membuat harga waran ini berada di atas harga wajarnya krn adanya ekspektasi harga saham MLPL masih bisa meningkat kedepannya.

Penurunan saham MLPL sendiri hari ini (yg mengakibatkan harga warannya juga turun) dikarenakan investor kecewa hasil RUPS MLPL yg hanya memutuskan membagi dividen Rp10 per lembar saham, jauh di bawah harapan investor mengingat MLPL meraup keuntungan yg besar di tahun 2010.

Bila melihat pergerakan harga MLPL hari ini kelihatannya masih ada peluang MLPL-W utk naik kembali, apalagi bila MLPL jadi menjual kepemilikan sahamnya di MPPA maka dipastikan saham MLPL akan kembali naik dan demkian juga dgn MLPL-W.

U.S. stocks slide after 5 days of gains as oil falls

2009-09-12T15:26:00.001+07:00

Stocks slip as lower oil helps break 5-day rally; Dow ends where it stood ahead of 9/11 attack.

Stocks closed higher after faltering for awhile on a Federal Reserve report that the economy will remain weak due largely to unemployment.

Gain in consumer confidence sends U.S. stocks higher

2009-08-26T07:04:00.001+07:00

Stocks finish higher after rebound in consumer confidence, home prices; Dow rises for 6th day.

A rebound in consumer confidence and more healing in the housing industry have put stocks back on an upward path.

Banks, retailers and homebuilders were Tuesday's biggest winners, helping to lift the major indexes about 0.3 percent. Energy and utility stocks fell sharply, and limited the overall market's advance, as oil prices cooled following a recent surge.

Though investors were pleased by better-than-expected readings on consumers and housing, trading was choppy, as it has been over the past week, a reflection of the market's lingering caution.

Investors are questioning how much further Wall Street's five-month rally can go without evidence of actual economic growth.

Weak economic data puts U.S. stock market rally on hold

2009-08-06T07:29:00.001+07:00

Wall Street rally goes on hold after report of weakening business at service companies.

Stocks slipped Wednesday as investors shied away from big moves ahead of the government's monthly reading on job losses and the unemployment rate, which comes out before the start of trading on Friday.

The big concern on Wall Street is layoffs, and whether companies trying to preserve their profits during the recession are continuing to slash jobs at a furious pace. Job cuts have to slow for the economy to have a solid recovery.

U.S. stocks slip as fears remain about pace of recovery

2009-07-30T07:36:00.002+07:00

Stocks fall on jitters about pace of recovery in economy; pause in rally extends to fourth day.

The stock market is holding up, just not pressing ahead as the economic signs look a little less promising.

Stocks had their fourth straight day of minimal moves Wednesday as commodity prices slid and orders for big-ticket manufactured goods fell, injecting more uncertainty into the market.

Investors are uneasy but aren't giving up on stocks. The Dow Jones industrials lost only 26 points on Wednesday and major indexes are still up about 11 percent since mid-July.

Analysts say the market's buoyancy after such a big gain is a welcome sign of stability, but also that more good news is needed for stocks to resume their climb.

The Dow fell 26.00, or 0.3 percent, to 9,070.72.
