Oil, Snap chat – and one Saudi Prince…

Crude Oil reversal

One thing we know about the markets – they are not expected and can throw us off our feet when we less expect it.

Prince Alwaleed invest in Snap chat

Snap chat(symbol SNAP) received reinforcement yesterday as the Saudi prince(AKA Warren Buffet of the Middle East) purchased 2.3% of the company in a deal estimated size of 250M$.

As stated on CNBC – https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/07/prince-alwaleed-says-he-has-acquired-a-2point3percent-stake-in-snapchat.html

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal of Saudi Arabia announced he has purchased 2.3 percent of Snap.

On Tuesday, Prince Alwaleed tweet on his Twitter page that he made an investment of $250 million, at an average cost of $11 per share, on May 25. He initially met with Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Imran Khan, the company’s chief strategy officer, in 2015, when the two executives visited Riyadh.


Who is Snap Chat? –  “Snapchat is one of the most innovative social media platforms in the world and we believe it has only just begun to scratch the surface of its true potential and we are blessed to be part of it,” Prince Alwaleed said in a statement.

The one thing left to follow is how will the stock price behave once this release catches the eyes and ears of investors who pounded the stock since the IPO 18 months ago and pushed the price of the stock from 30$ per share towards 12.23$ per share(the closing price of yesterday session):
