Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
an official listing, every corporation that sells shares must be valued. If not, how would a potential investor know how much the firm is worth? While it is harder to
value, there are some advantages to purchasing unlisted stock. Dong is a 29-year-old Hanoi "stock playboy" who says that he has an eye for unlisted shares ("Brokers," 20002). What
might he mean by that? Unlisted shares are in fact the shares of corporations that are not listed on the stock exchange. Although there are some good buys there, it
is of course much riskier as the value is not set by specific factors and hence, unlisted shares remain risky but can be a gold mine if the proper company
is found. Dong explains: "If you want, I can help you to procure shares of some unlisted firm, even some firms that are not familiar to many investors such as
Timex and Fimex" ("Brokers," 2002, p.PG) . Dong works for a joint-stock commercial bank in Hanoi and is one of several unofficial brokers around the city (2002). Things are
of course a bit different in Vietnam. Still, the principles of unlisted shares remain the same. They are risky, but with risk comes greater potential. That is true with any
investment. Dong also notes the problem with valuation. He says: "Its hard to estimate the true value of listing shares, for unlisted shares, some have gained rapidly when the firms
financial reports are leaked to the public. It is difficult to turn your back on a profit of more than 10 times from such non-listed shares" ("Brokers," 2002, p.PG) .
