What you are getting when investing in the stockmarket?

20070614 Some dodgy transactions involving hanky panky might be what you might get. This transaction brings to question several issues, fair value accounting, true and fair reporting, transparency etc. How is the newly restructured company going to carry this block of share investment in its books? The big question is, why transact the off market deal at 3 times the market price? Since same 'internal' group, just use the market price lah. One make, one lose, net net nothing lor. Little wonder many retail investors are shunning the market.
