Bad Ticker

What I hated most about SGX and HKSE is that their stock ticker makes no sense. 5 digits number for HKSE and 3 digits alphanumeric for SGX are both purely terrible. One look at the ticker and you don't know what company is it. You need to refer to the translation list to find out the answer. Of course, if you trade long enough, you can remember your favorite stock by its cryptic code. Just like my parents who can remember the 4D Tua-pek-kong book.

So, let me give out the stocks with warrants that are listed in SGX:
Agriculture -> First Resources, Indofood, Wilmar
Finance/Bank -> DBS, OCBC, UOB
Finance/Broker -> SGX
Casino -> Genting SP
Industrial -> Cosco, Keppel Corp, Midas, Sembcorp Marine, Yangzijiang
Mining -> StraitsAsia
Oil&Gas -> Ezion, Ezra
Property -> Capland, CDL, Capitamall Asia, Keppel Land, Yanlord
Retail -> Noble, Olam
Telco -> Singtel
Transport/Airline -> SIA
Transport/Shipping -> NOL

As you can deduce, the number of available warrants in SGX is many times less as compared to HKSE.
