오늘은 8장입니다. 8장 The Perfect Stock, What a Deal!

 

# Here is a list of some recent spinoffs that have done well, and a couple that
haven’t done so well: 

 

The literature sent to shareholders explaining the spinoff is usually hastily
prepared, blasé, and understated, which makes it even better than the regular
annual reports. Spinoff companies are often misunderstood and get little
attention from Wall Street. Investors often are sent shares in the newly created
company as a bonus or a dividend for owning the parent company, and
institutions, especially, tend to dismiss these shares as pocket change or found
money. These are favorable omens for the spinoff stocks.

 

☞ "별다른 관심을 받지 못한다"를 영어로 어떻게 했나요?

get little attention from Wall Street

 

반대로 지대한 관심을 받는다고도 표현해 볼 수 있겠죠?

get much attention from Wall Street

 

☞ dismiss : to refuse to accept that something might be true or important

The minister dismissed claims that he had accepted bribes.

We should not dismiss these ideas just because they are unfamiliar.

dismiss something as something: 

Their evidence was dismissed as completely worthless.

dismiss something out of hand (=without considering it): 

The theory cannot be dismissed out of hand.

 

☞ pocket change : coins rather than paper money:

Several people gave pocket change as donations to the event.

# This is a fertile area for the amateur shareholder, especially in the recent
frenzy of mergers and acquisitions. Companies that are targets of hostile
takeovers frequently fight off raiders by selling or spinning off divisions that then
become publicly traded issues on their own. When a company is taken over, the
parts are often sold off for cash, and they, too, become separate entities in which
to invest. If you hear about a spinoff, or if you’re sent a few fractions of shares in
some newly created company, begin an immediate investigation into buying
more. A month or two after the spinoff is completed, you can check to see if
there is heavy insider buying among the new officers and directors. This will
confirm that they, too, believe in the company’s prospects.

 

☞  frenzy : a state of uncontrolled activity or emotion

The next speaker whipped the crowd up into a frenzy.

She was in a frenzy of rage.

☞ fraction : a small part or amount of something

fraction of: His investment is now worth only a fraction of its original value.
a small/tiny fraction: Unions recruit only a small fraction of the workers.
a fraction of a second/an inch: Joe glanced at her for a fraction of a second before answe

ring.
