New Companies are likely to be formed here from time to time for a variety of purposes, and there is no reason to suppose that lovestments made in their shares in the early stages of their history as dividend paying Companies, may not, in the course of years, shew as handsome profits, and as vast increases in value, as any known in the past. The Stocks and Shares of existing Companies afford also, on occasions, favorable opportunities for Investment.
8.It will form no portion of the business of this Company to float new Companies, under. write shares, or invest or deal in anything but the Stocks, Shares and Debentures of the enter prises fodicated in paragraph 1.
o-Profits, and considerable profits, may, it is believed, be made by the purchase and sale from day to day of local Stocks, Shares and Deben- tures of the descriptions indicated.
The value of Share property in Hong- kong is very great, so great, that even with the facilities afforded by the Banks, the purely speculative dealers are unable fally to grapple with the situation and afford to the many holders adequate outlets. There are few or no per manent investors in the Colony, and there are therefore great and frequent fluctuations in values. The ever changing nature of the popu. tion is constantly throwing shares and stocks upon the market, quite apart from the operations of socculative dealers, and thus very valuable opportunities are constantly being offered to buyers with capital at command.
The Company will, it is hoped, not merely secure reasonable profits for its shareholders, but will confer a benefit on the shareholding community generally by steadying the local markets and ensuring them agalust violent fluctuations,
cipated from the employment of a portion of the 10-Considerable profits may also be and
in abares, identified by numbers or Company's resources in "Cash and Time" therwise, and deposited in the hands of the Company or with its Bankers. These acquainted with this class of business in Hongkong and Shanghai are well aware of the heavy rates of interest paid in respect of such transactions, and will see what an opening exists for a business as safo as it is profitable.
11-Between the Head Office in Hongkong and the London Branch or agency, useful business in the nature of "Arbitrage" now growing into importance, may be transacted.
12-In one or all of the forms of business indicated, in the preceding paragraphe, it is anticipated that handsome profits may be made, and by a judicious admixture and selection, it is bellered that a safe as well as a profitable business may be carried on.
13-There is no promotion money payable to any one. All the preliminary expenses for float ing and registering the Company are borne and paid by the Founders. No Founders shares have been reserved by the Promoters or given freed from the obligation to take or under write 76 Ordinary abates.
