Re: US vs UK trading
Hi ! This is on a slightly different topic:One difference between the
UK and US stockmarkets are the "Splits" in the US and Rights and
Bonus Issues in the UK (right?). Now I know that in the US markets ,
splits are adjusted .i.e. prices before the splits are adjusted
according to the split. My question is, how are the prices in the UK
adjusted in the charts, for Bonus (and maybe Rights) issues? Bonus
and Rights are applicable to many markets including the Sri Lanka
Stock Market, the Best performing Asian Market for '97.
Thanks.
