观察名单： 受到证券交易所或经纪人事务所监视的股票名单，因为这些股票吸引了反常的大量交易，而且很有可能涉及违规操作。也指受全球性指数发布机构观察的国家名单，看它们是否有升级潜力，比如从新兴市场升级至发达市场。

Watch list: A list of stocks that are being monitored by an exchange or brokerage because they have attracted unusually heavy and possibly irregular trading. Also, a list of countries monitored by global index providers for potential upgrade to a different classification, rising for instance from emerging market to developed market status.
