RE:RE:RE:RE:Name change It's worth a google - actual a lot of big studies on it with every name change and what happen - the vast majority see abnormal volume and positive share price influence before and after in the short term. In the long term it's obviously on the fundamentals on the company - the research doesn't differentiate if this is because of the name change itaelf or because the companies usually want some positive momentum and hold of on news until the new name.
