laser2302 Posted January 26, 2009 at 04:40 AM Report Posted January 26, 2009 at 04:40 AM (edited) Hi, Happy 牛 Year. 春节快乐!祝大家新年快乐!每天都开开心心! I have a question that I would like to ask you guys. Take a look at the following sentence: 日前报道,美国投机金融大鳄索罗斯和“股神拱头铺赝时预言,美元将在近几个月内大跌。 What does 股神拱头铺赝 means in the above sentence: 股神 refers to "Mr.Warren Buffet", it means god of stocks. But don't know what the rest 拱头铺赝 means? I would also like to provide you with the context, so here's the whole article: 索罗斯和巴菲特预言 美元几个月内可能会大跌 据英国《独立报》日前报道,美国投机金融大鳄索罗斯和“股神拱头铺赝时预言,美元将在近几个月内大跌。 传言来自一个匿名的对冲基金经理,他说:“我听到索罗斯和巴菲特都在沽空美元,华尔街越来越预感美元将一路大跌。 不过索罗斯通过发言人澄清他从未有过此预言,巴菲特目前拒绝记者采访。《独立报》评论认为,这些投机大亨们自然是不会承认的,但是那些即使不是外汇交易商的外行人也能明白无风不起浪的道理。因此,传言一出,便推动英镑大涨,对美元汇率升至5年最高。 美林证券也预计美元今后可能贬到1欧元兑1.33美元,比11月27日的1欧元兑1.19美元贬值12%。 如果美元果真大幅下跌,可能又是索罗斯和巴菲特施展金融奇才的大好时机了,尤其是索罗斯,一向是看准机会狠下手。 回顾过去,1992年索罗斯曾经沽空英镑,击败英格兰银行,赢了10亿美元,成为了华尔街当年赚钱最多的人,同时还被称为“令英格兰银行破产的人埂ⅰ叭球最成功的投资家埂1997年,东南亚成为索罗斯新的目标。他凭借手中220亿美元的庞大基金规模,对泰铢等东南亚货币发动攻击,最终横扫东南亚股市汇市,甚至将东南亚各国政府都玩弄于股掌之间。 而这一次,索罗斯要怎么“玩姑涝,外人无从知晓。但有分析人士对于这一点毫不怀疑:索罗斯是绝不会给他痛恨的布什政府留情面的。(中华工商时报)(文艳) Please also tell me what does the word 沽空 means in the article. It uses this word in several placess like in 索罗斯曾经沽空英镑 Thanks! Edited January 27, 2009 at 04:40 AM by laser2302 Quote
Hanlink Posted January 28, 2009 at 12:37 AM Report Posted January 28, 2009 at 12:37 AM Not sure where your copy came from, but other copies of the same article start with the predictions of Soros and Buffet as follows: 據英國《獨立報》日前報導,美國投機金融大鱷索羅斯和“股神”巴菲特同時預言,美元將在近幾個月內大跌。 As for 沽空, it means to 'sell short'. 沽 is the classical chinese character for sell and is used, particularly in Hong Kong's securities industry, so that brokers distinguish clearly between a buy order and a sell order.
