"sentimental value" just guessing Explanation: Sorry, nothing more than a hint to get you going hopefully in the right direction. Literally *prezzo d'affezione* is *sentimental value*. I also find an *affection value* but I have no idea if this term applies to financial jargon. |

for a song Explanation: i don't really know the parmalat story, but i'm guessing that an investor might put in a cheeky, low offer with a view to buying/selling off the capital after that kind of scandal. |

subjective pricing Explanation: www.newsletter.duke.it/ht/insider-253.shtml sembrerebbe poi che la discesa del Nasdaq potrebbe continuare visto che attualmente ci sono ancora titoli con prezzi d'affezione come Google www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/dec2002/nf20021211_038... Some funds resist using fair-value pricing partly because they feel it borders on "subjective" pricing and could expose them to legal risk. Prezzi d'affezione could be either over- or underpriced, and would seem to be influenced greatly by subjectivity rather than objectivity, sometimes legal and sometimes not quite so...

irrational pricing Explanation: often the case with IPOs http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=IPO "irrational pri... http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/research/finance_ipo.shtml In academia, financial economists were hard put to explain this and other overheated stock behavior in the frenzied months leading up to the bursting of the dot-com bubble. The highly **irrational pricing** of Internet stock—especially at IPO—did not square with the traditional approach to the study of financial markets, which assumes that markets are always efficient and participants always rational. |
