made the last step toward its IPO in NASDAQ. The price of a share is
$13.5 with a volume 25.68million shares. Its market cap will be around
$1 billion as the number of total shares is around 150 million. Interestingly,
A123 announced the IPO at 8:08 a.m. on Aug. 8, 2008, and announced its terms
on 09/09/09, apparently it played with the luck numbers 8 and 9 in Chinese
numerology.
It is for sure that the IPO of A123 will be one of the main focus in venture captials.
We have to ask many questions before we jump into the buying force of
A123 Systems at the week of 09/21/2009.
1) Is A123 Systems IPO price $13.5 cheap enough?
Answer: 50% yes/50% no. Given the fact that it has increased
50% for IPO price in two times adjustment. The open price quickly
rush to my former estimation: $18-$20 :-(
2) Is A123 Systems a loser as GM choose LG chemical for its Volt?
Answer: No. Volt is just one of many electric car models, which will appear
in nearest future. It is still too early to talk about winners and losers in this
indutry given the Li-ion battery market is still waiting to be boosted in future.
What A123 Systems needs to do is to reduce the cost of its fancy batteries
effectively in future by massive production to win the battle. That's the usage
of IPO capitals. Of course, one has to admit A123 lost a titanic battle and

of IPO capitals. Of course, one has to admit A123 lost a titanic battle and
added more future uncertainty as it lost the big contract with GM.
3) Does the future of A123 Systems only rely on the electical cars?
Answer: No. It should be more accurate to claim that the future of A123 Systems
relies on the boost of clean energy market in future. A123 Systems

Southern California Edison wants A123 Systems to build the world's biggest
lithium-ion grid storage battery.
4) Is it too risk to buy A123 Systems?
Answer: 50% Yes/50% No. If you read my post, buy shares of A123 Systems
