stock options

Guest

Hey guys, look at this:

AMKR ---- $5.15-$5.36
MXIM ---- $43.53-$43.8

Who has the better future???

I'll bet that if Maxim goes to $65 (1.5x), then Amkor would be at $25 (5x). I will therefore bet my money on Amkor.

What if the opposite side of the market took place???

If MXIM becomes $20, then AMKR would be $1. Simple mathematics eh.

C'mon... stock prices goes up and down, but definitely not the way how you compute it. Razz

involving ur money in stocks is a stake, either u win, or u lose... though majority says few lose on stocks, breakeven is more and winners most...

it just depends on how the business is going and how you'll trade it at the stock market...

many committed suicide during the bubble burst of 2000-2001 because they lost their lifetime savings in stocks. the reason you think many are making money from this is because people who make money are noisy about it, but always become quiet when they lose money. i know several people who are like this.

perhaps but if they lost their lifetime savings, then commit suicide then they just didn't lose that lifetime savings but they're lost on the right track also... why? first and foremost, why invest a lifetime savings in such gamble? stocks is gamble! that's poor investments management!

second, if they've lost that lifetime savings in stocks then they should have learned a VERY BIG LESSON and shouldn't repeat the same scenario but should still think that it was part of God's plan, that it happened for a reason, that their is still a life after that...

Guys,

Hold your fire......the topic here is stock option / grant , normally stock options/ grant are just a benefit being given mostly by multi national companies , so wala tayong control dyan , I remember when I was still in IDT , the grant price to us is just $7 US per share and as engineer we received 150 shares per year starting 1996 and you know what, on year 2000, the priced of stocks became $105 US , which means $98 US gain , but hindi araw-araw fiesta , dumating yung panahon ng 2001 , they gave us 200 shares per yr (meaning 2001-2005 grant) but the price is $47 per share and after several yrs , bumagsak ang price to single digit , then consuelo de bobo ng company , nag re=price , they changed it to $10.8, but the number of shares will be reduced , so pumayag kami dahil choice mo nman kung magi-exchange ka o hindi at hindi mo pa alam ang magiging price pag nag exchange ka , kung baga parang sugal, but look guys , nagsara IDT Philippines , magkano ngayon ang stocks namin , around $11.+ at least may tubo ng konti , but hindi pa rin sure yon because any time pwede naming hindi pakinabangan yung stocks na yon , lalo kung hindi na tumaas ang presyo.

Bottomline - let's just view stock options as additional incentives sa atin , kung baga bonus na lang yon, kaya kahit i-tax pa sya , dapat ok lang kasi , yung sweldo naman talaga monthly ang bayad sa trabaho natin sa araw-araw. Ngayon nga pala nasa Amkor na ko ....pero hindi ko alam kung mag kaka stocks din ako ....pero ok lang sa akin yon kung talagang mahusay ka eh di pumunta ka sa kumpanya na mag o-offer sa yo ng mataas na stocks , at kung ayaw mong mag-tax, pumunta ka sa kumpanyang hindi nag tatax sa stocks......tax free nga pala sa Pilipinas stock namin before pero nagbabayad kmi ng tax sa US....pero ngayon ok lang kahit i-tax pa kami sa Stocks na pwede pa naming ibenta upto one-year basta ang mahalaga eh kumita kami ng kahit konti tutal bigay lang naman sa amin yon at walang kinakaltas sa sweldo namin....wala na IDT Philippines pero binili nila ICS kaya ngayon hindi namin ikinukumpara yung IDT sa Amkor , lalo na marami kaming taga IDT na nasa Amkor na,
pasalamat nga kami at may trabaho pa kahit karamihan sa amin ay mas mababa sweldo sa Amkor kaysa IDT , kasi kung talaga namang magaling tayo , lilitaw din galing natin kahit nasaan tayo at kasunod non pag taas syempre ng sweldo, basta isipin na lang natin , habang nagtatrabaho tayo eh pinapanuod tayo ng Diyos para kung ayaw tayong ipromote ng Boss natin eh ang Diyos ang mag promote sa atin.....

Salamat sa Diyos....at sa sa inyo....

Korek!!! Kaya lang, nabanggit mo ang tungkol sa tax. Ano ba talaga ang tama? Dapat bang may tax o wala. Bakit ang mga kumpanya dito sa Pilipinas ay hindi magkaisa tungkol dyan? Kasi walang batayan.... Kung dapat nga i-tax, dapat ay kumilos na ang gobyerno natin para isulong ang panukala at hulihin ang kumpanya na hindi magbibigay ng tax para sa naturang stock options na yan. Unfair naman sa mga nagbabayad ng tax. Ang labo talaga!

tungkol sa tanong na ano ba dapat ? Dapat talaga ay may tax, kasi basic lang naman ang tax system natin sa Pilipinas , any income or gross income for a year less your tax exemptions are all taxable , kaya lang walang malinaw na guidelines , dahil may mga kumpanya na hindi naman nababantayan ng BIR kaya nangyayari ay may tax shield silang tinatawag lalo na mga local companies sa Pilipinas , but for multinational companies like US companies , nagbabayad talaga sila ng tax sa US. hindi pa lang siguro nabubuklat ng BIR ang stock options/grant system ng mga semicon , kasi sa inang kumpanya ay confidential ito , dahil hindi naman lahat ay nabibigyan ng stocks at hindi lahat ay parepareho ang number of shares kung mayroon man kay isa to sa mga bagay na napupunta sa fringe benefits ng iba at kapag fringe benefits , hindi kasama sa taxable income. Ngayo kung lahat ng empleyado ay may stocks at malinaw ang guidelines sa number os shares , that's the time na taxable talaga ang stocks grant....pero mas maganda siguro taga BIR ang mag explain nito ang sa ganang akin lamang ay base sa karanasan ko sa stocks system....salamat.

Yung IDT nag-sho-shopping ng comapny. First binili nila Integrated Circuit Systems, tapos this week yung Freescale Semiconductor. Sana mag-$20 naman yung stock natin para masaya tayo. O, customer ng Amkor ang Freescale!!!

People treated stock options differently. When you sell your stocks and get taxed for it, then you may declare those money you earned as part of your income. Right?
I hope those people from credit card companies and compensation specialists treated and valued stocks as part of the deal.

TechWeek: Semis Feeling Chipper

When all the numbers are crunched, worldwide chip sales in 2005 will have totaled $235 billion, an all-time high and a 6.9% increase from 2004, according to a report released Friday by market researcher Gartner. If you needed it, the report is more evidence that the sector has fully recovered from the dot-com bomb. This is the first year that total chip sales surpassed the record set at the height of the boom in 2000.
