6/9-dont shoot!

我以前遇到個老trader,他有保留一堆名字或Ticker相近公司名.我一下就注意到有很多TT股, 如台灣的2823 TT中壽跟香港的2628HK中國人壽.還有一堆China來Sino去的股. 他說永遠有智障不認真投資人,看到影子就開槍. 如有重大事件發生在其中一家公司,另一家公司股價因為同名或是名字, ticker相近就被超賣事情發生. 一直到今天,還是很多人以為泰國跟台灣是一樣國家.中華開發是北京的投資公司….

外國人果然都是善良.最近在加拿大上市的林業公司sino-forest,被爆申告營運數字與資產不實,被大賣一場. 兩天內股價由15塊掉剩下不到5塊加幣. 不過中國公司數字造假也不是第一天,因為paulson擁有這公司近15%,所以有新聞性市場喜愛這樣題材.

莫名其妙的是同樣是TRE ticker,可是在不同交易市場的Tanzanian Royalty Exploration探金公司躺著也中彈.


Sino-Forest Ticker: A Case of Mistaken Identities
By Isabella Steger

The drama surrounding Sino-Forest Corp. has just claimed its first victim, in an uncanny case of mistaken identities.

Sino-Forest – whose ticker in Toronto is TRE – has plunged 78% in the last four days, as it grapples with accusations made against it by independent research firm Muddy Waters. But it’s also sending the unrelated Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corp. in New York down with it. Tanzanian Royalty trades on the NYSE-AMEX with the symbol TRE, and its stock has lost 8.2% in the last four days.

In a press release on Tuesday evening, the company said it would change its trading symbol from TRE to TRX to avoid confusion with Sino-Forest.
“It could have a negative impact on our stock [and] we just do not need that,” company spokesman David Duval told Dow Jones Newswires.
