NOTES OF THE DAY

GUARDING INVESTORS

We published an interview with a well-informed Hongkong finan cial man yesterday In which he warned Hongkong sharo-holders against lending their scrip to oporators who would use it in "bear, ralds" upon the local mar- kat. He pointed out that by so do- ing share-holders were supplying their worst enemies with ammuni- tion; for with the scrip in their] Fossession operators are able to tear down prices to levels which will enable them to buy back again at a proft, return the scrip, or' shares of an equal amount to those originally borrowed, and collect their cash security. By this ледив un artificial depression could be encouraged, to the de- triment of thousands of investors. We do not deny the honesty or value of "bear" trading, but we do most strenuously object to such practices as these. Bear traders unquestionably serve a useful pur- pose, but when the operation re- sults in a loss of millions of dollars to Investors in, sound stocks, the usefulness becomes an offence. It is absurd that an in- vestment which pays n steady seven and eight per cont. should have been pounded down below the par value of the shares; and that situation exists in Hongkong. That an exposure of what has been going on in Ice House Street should have been made by a man well acquainted with conditions there we are convinced every good citizen will applaud, as we do.
