In New World Resources (NWC AU)'s Possible Interloper. I noted NWC's shares trading through Central Asia Metals (CAML LN)'s A$0.05/share terms. An opportunistic investor (s) or a third party bidder?

Is Hino (7205 JP) a short or a long at ¥366/share? Suggest short, but also selling more as the stock goes up, and buying back the short on big dips.
A Bloomberg op-ed piece concludes it is time to move on from "from an archaic currency regime". That conclusion on the Hong Kong peg appears presumptuous. And uninformed.
A spin-off makes sense as Zijin (2899 HK) capitalises on the upward cycle in gold prices. However,  Zijin is trading at a single-digit NAV discount. Before any holding company discount.
