There are usually at least four, and sometimes as many as eight. Retirees all, they come with tea and nuts and candies to snack on. They plop down at a table in the main hall and watch the electronic stock ticker board above them track the day's activity. They trade gossip, peruse a few business papers, and discuss investment ideas. These stock-crazed seniors capture the mania -- the obsession, some would say -- that is the investment game in China. Even though the ladies are all over 60 and are playing with relatively small sums of money, they are really traders, not investors. They buy and sell frequently, often on the flimsiest of rumors. "Everyone knows," whispered Hong Feng, a former schoolteacher, conspiratorially to a friend in early November, "that the government wanted the stock market to go up this year. But now they think it might be getting too hot. It might be time to sell." Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
