Dullards in demand

Article Abstract:

Small South Korean companies have made the biggest gains on the Korea Stock Exchange in 1992 as Schroders' 'Nifty Fifty' index, which lists small companies predominantly, has gone up by 43% since the start of the year. However, analysts foresee larger export-oriented companies doing better than smaller ones as broad stockmarket gains are improbable with the slowing domestic economy, as well as a high inflation rate and a current-account deficit. Also, the 10% limit on foreign ownership of stocks may halt the growth of stocks fuelled by foreign buying.
