Hat 900625 Millennium Pharmaceutical gesplittet, oder bin ich pleite? Bitte um Hilfe! o.T.

Du bist nicht pleite!

weiter runter geht es nicht mehr ! Oder doch ?
Ich denke, der Absturz von jetzt bald 95% ist doch etwas sehr übertrieben.
Problematisch sind aber Analystenmeinungen, nach denen die institutionellen Investoren das Vertrauen in das Konzept von Hikari verloren haben. Wenn das stimmt, dann sieht's düster aus.
Aber ich werde wohl morgen trotzdem klein einsteigen. Nur weil jetzt viele Beteiligungen beim Crash enorm an Wert verloren haben oder mit weniger Potential eingeschätzt werden, heißt das für mich nicht, dass Hikari quasi nichts mehr Wert ist.
Also. Kopf hoch, nach Regen kommt an der Börse auch wieder Sonnenschein !

meinen Einstieg erreicht habe. :(

mußt Du das auch unbedingt durchziehen. Außer Du hast kein Geld übrig. Dann leider Pech gehabt und lange/lange warten. Verluste in der Höhe realisieren macht jetzt auch keinen Sinn mehr.

zwei mal nachgekauft. Bei 525 Euro und bei 425 Euro. Verbilligen ist
also der falsche Begriff. Ich habe sozusagen verteuert.
Ich kann das auch alles nicht mehr verstehen. In Japan steht Hikari
bei ca 250 Euro ( quote.yahoo.co.jp/q?s=9435&d=v1 ). In
Deutschland bei 150.  

Remember that U.S $1-billion-share swap that Richard Li's Pacific Century CyberWorks (PCCW) did with Hikari in February, which sent its own shares skyrocketing? Well, that $1 billion worth of Hikari stock that PCCW purchased is today worth $150 million and falling. In a way it really doesn't matter to Richard Li because he didn't fork out a single cent for that purchase. All he did was to issue PCCW shares and those shares have fallen about 45% from their peak. Still, as it turned out, he paid nearly twice as much as he needed to for Hikari shares.

If you had invested $100 in Hikari in February you probably would own just $15 worth of stock. Actually by the time you are through with commissions and a slight decline in the value of the yen against the U.S. dollar, you probably have just $12 dollar worth of stock. In fact since Hikari is currently "Ask Only" if you were really desperate to get rid of your Hikari shares you would be lucky to pocket $10. But hey, look at the bright side: You are not alone. Many aggressive fund managers, who invested in Hikari in the first two months of this year, are sitting on huge paper losses. Among them is one of Jardine Fleming's Japan funds which at one point had nearly 5% of its holdings in Hikari stock. Nobody seems to know where the bottom is for Hikari stocks. Mitsubishi Securities is predicting a Y10,000 price target, 96% down from its peak price in February, which it says reflects the fair value of the company. Remember, stocks are as likely to overshoot on the way down as to overshoot on the way up.

What's Hikari's problem? The shares have been battered not just because the Internet hype is less sellable than it was seven weeks ago. Hikari's core business -- of selling and renting cellular phones -- is in trouble too. It will lose U.S.$ 125 million in the six months ending February 2000. Phone subscriptions are growing at a far slower rate than most analysts had anticipated. In the past few months Hikari has closed down over 550 of its HiT retail phone shops, leaving just over 1,450 from a peak of 2,000 stores in December. Analysts figure more store closures are likely. Hikari says it also needs to sell some of its Internet-company holdings to cover its first ever six-month operating loss. Just three weeks ago, Hikari founder and CEO Shigeta Yasumitsu was talking up the rosy profit forecasts that analysts had dished out.

Japan's other Internet star, Softbank has also lost a lot of its shine, though it isn't down as much as Hikari and it still has assets like its stakes in Yahoo! and E*Trade that can fetch money even when Nasdaq is down. Softbank is expected to report a Y530 million loss for the six months to March 2000. Its shares have lost 65% of their value since February. Softbank wanted to raise up to $2 billion through a share placement, but the market sentiment is too poor to try it anytime soon.

True, the "old economy" seems to be dead and the old ways of doing business are dying as fast. True, the Internet is here to stay. True too there is a lot of money to be made from Internet stocks -- in spite of the volatility in tech stocks there will tremendous upside in some selected stocks that are market leaders in their respective fields.

The lesson from the dramatic rise and fall of Hikari is that it actually pays to stick with fundamentals. Hikari stock kept climbing because every other day its management was announcing a new investment in yet another Internet play. Investors poured in because of news flows and forgot about cash flows. The more Internet investments Hikari made, the more likely it was that it would make a mistake. But investors were so awestruck by Hikari's Internet investment strategy that they took their eyes off Hikari's core business, cellular-phone retailing and its falling margins and plummeting subscription rates.

Hikari is unlikely to go under. It still has a good retail phone franchise in Japan that can be emulated in some, though not all, Asian markets. But its travails have brought home an important point: If a stock looks too good to be true, it probably is.
