请教这句话的意思

Since the return of the old-style capitalist is unlikely,
today's short-term traders must be remade into
(25) tomorrow's long-term capitalistic investors.

怎么让人感觉today's short-term traders就是old-style capitalist呢？

困惑

以下是引用happysandy在2005-9-21 11:38:00的发言：

Unless the announced sale could be explained to the public on
grounds other than anticipated future losses, the value of
the stock would plummet and, like the old-time capital-
ists, major investors could cut their losses only by
helping to restore their companies' productivity.

我的理解：除非宣告的销售是基于非预期损失的（即不是因为预期会产生损失而决定销售股票），否则股票的市值将会下降，那些主要的投资者也将会象过去的资本家一样，只能通过帮助恢复公司生产力的方式来减少他们自己的损失。

不知道讲清楚没有，从句中other than部分是修饰grounds的

那要是按照这样讲的话, 不宣告销售反而可以使主要投资者关注生产力了? 逻辑意思不矛盾了吗?

I try to answer sigrid920:

Logic is correct, but...I think the according translation for that sentence may be required of modification.

That sentence (Unless the announced sale........productivity) corresponds to  the 2nd proposal (one day notice), explaining the benefits of doing so.

Selling stock with one day notice enables two possibilities: (i) selling is due to future losses (ii) selling is due to other reason

for (i),  the stock value would plumet and investors could restore productivity to commpensate for this drop.

for (ii) the passage does not explain the impact of this action, I guess, at least, it is not devastating the value of stock.

I hope my logic can help a little bit, and please let me know your idea/opinion

文章简单的时候,题目就波涛汹涌;
不能说难,只能说是,峰回路转,曲折离奇.
超时很多吗? 只错一题还是很强的.

个人觉得背景知识还是比较重要的，我是学经济管理的，看这篇文章就比较轻松。不是说里面的观点我有多么了解，但是名词都比较熟悉，思路也感觉比较易懂。题目也不觉得难（这篇阅读全对，其他阅读我也做全对；不过也存在错一半的）。但是做起科技类的阅读，头就有点大，大量充斥的细节描述，通常把我搞晕。做到5题以后就什么也不记得了。结果基本上前面几题全对，后面几题全错....

过去：由资本家capitalist主导

今天：由today's short-term traders-institution 机构投资者（如银行/基金）主导

明天：要把今天的institutional investor 改造-remake 成（像资本家一样的）长期导向机构投资者。

这句话的意思是，如果机构投资者不能向公众证明出售其股票可靠基础（即不会导致预期损失），股票就会贬值（比如在没有法律要求披露的情况下，索罗斯可以偷偷的将股票卖掉套取短期利益；若法律要求索罗斯在卖之前一天开发布会--这正是作者提出的意见，如索罗斯没有正当理由而抛售股票，就会引起恐慌，公众小股东就会竞相抛售股票，结果股票价格下降；索罗斯第二天出售股票的计划也就只能泡汤，因而无法套利），结构机构投资就不能根据价格差套利，所以也只好以长期导向为目标了。
