经典重译之股票大作手回忆录(446)
原文(476):
This made the wily and watchful traders conclude that there was something doing;something big.When a stock goes up on buying by insiders who refuse to encourage the world at large to follow suit the ticker hounds begin to wonder aloud when the official notice will be given out.
I didn't do anything myself.I watched and wondered and kept track of the transactions.But on the next day the buying was not only greater in volume but more aggressive in character.The selling orders that had been on the specialists' books for months at above the pegged price of 37 were absorbed without any trouble,and not enough new selling orders came in to check the rise.Naturally,up went the price.It crossed 40.Presently it touched 42.
The moment it touched that figure I felt that I was justified in starting to sell the stock the bank held as collateral.Of course I figured that the price would go down on my selling,but if my average on the entire line was 37 I'd have no fault to find.I knew what the stock was worth and I had gathered some idea of the vendibility from the months of inactivity.Well,sir,I let them have stock carefully until I had got rid of thirty thousand shares.And the advance was not checked!
That afternoon I was told the reason for that opportune but mystifying rise.It seems that the floor traders had been tipped off after the close the night before and also the next morning before the opening,that I was bullish as blazes on Consolidated Stove and was going to rush the price right up fifteen or twenty points without a reaction,as was my custom—that is,my custom according to people who never kept my books.
其他版本译文(476):
这个现象,使得那些紧盯着市场的聪明的交易人员觉得,一定有什么内幕在酝酿,会有很大的行情变动。公司内部的人买进自家股票,使得股价上涨,而他们又不鼓励其他股民跟进,这就让那些执着的股民开始到处搜索消息,打听到底什么时候会有正式的变动通知。
我个人什么都没干,只是认真观察,甚觉奇怪。我也追踪着这只股票的交易走势。第二天,人们买进这只股票的数量越发多了,而且更加猛烈。按照业内账册的记录,之前几个月里37美元以上想卖却没卖出的股票,此时非常轻松地就被市场吸纳了,而且又没有更多的新卖单拉住上涨的势头。股价一如既往地上升,超过40美元,然后又涨到了42美元。
此时,我认为应该把银行质押的那些股票抛出了。我自然不会觉得,我卖出这么多股票会拉低股价,而只要我整体持股的平均成本在37美元,就没人指摘我。我清楚这只股票的价值,通过对它在几个月里被冷落的状态进行观察后,我或多或少了解了这只股票的市场情况。我谨慎地把股票卖向市场,最后卖出了3万股,真的没有拉低涨势。
那天下午,有人对我讲了出现这种及时又神奇的涨势的原因。好像在前一天收盘后到这一天开盘前的这段时间,有人向营业员透露消息,说我如烈火般凶猛地看好联合炉具公司,还打算按照以往惯例,把股价抬高15到20个点,中途不会停歇。所谓我的惯例,其实是那些从不会去研究我记录的人的片面看法。
我的译文(476):
这使得那些狡猾且警觉的交易员们得出结论:这里面有事儿,而且是大事儿。
一支股票因内部人的买进而上涨,而这些内部人还拒绝大众跟风,这越发引起了纸带猎犬们的注意,他们越发的想知道,官方通告何时发布呢?
(这里面没有我的事),我啥也没做,我只是好奇的看着,跟踪着每一笔交易。但是到了第二天,买入数量不但更大了,而且风格激进。
在交易专家记录委托单的账册上,在37美元这个(护盘支撑位)之上,那些已经挂在那儿好几个月的委托卖单,被一扫而光,同时没有足够的新卖单进场来遏制股价上涨,股价自然就上升了,突破40(美元),并很快触及42(美元)。当股价触及这个数字的那一刻,我认为自己有理由启动派发了,毕竟这家公司有股票被抵押给了银行。(译者注: 股价一旦跌破35美元,抵押的股票就会被银行强行抛售,真到了那会儿,价格只会跌的更狠,而现在价格在40美元以上,此时不卖,更待何时)
当然,我明白我的卖出会令股价走低,但只要我全部仓位的平均卖出价格是37,那对我的做法就无可指摘。我知道这支股票值多少钱,数月以来,从它交投冷清的状况中,我对它的市场价值已经有了一些看法。
就这样,先生,我谨慎的把股票派发给他们,最终脱手了三万股,即便如此,它还在上涨。
(刚想瞌睡就有人递枕头),这波上涨,一方面无异于雪中送碳,另一方面又令人莫名其妙。那天下午,终于有人告诉了我原因。
看来是场内交易员,在头天收盘后,第二天开盘前的这段时间里,已经得到了内幕消息:说是我着了魔一样的看多Consolidated Stove ,打算把股价直接拉升十五到二十点,中间不带回调的,因为这就是我的风格——说我有这种风格的人,其实他们从来都没有跟踪记录过我的交易。
