Money Minded HK ppl

HK ppl are notorious for their money-minded and opportunistic characters. It is recently damn fierce: saw young ppl (talking abt u students probably) with the horse-racing page of newspaper in Delifrance; everyone is talking about stocks,two of my fds who NEVER touch stocks r also joining this 'biggest legit game' in city by joining the IPO... well indeed i may just be one of these notorious ppl, but i m very despised at those who know nothing and just jumps in, and then bragging n talking loud abt how how successful their investment... even without knowing the business their stock buying r in!

This piece of news appeared in one of the headliners of newspaper... the journalist is probably playing sentiments n writing much more like a 'story', but then all these 'characters' makes me feel soooooo hateful n disgusted... again i HATE shallow HK ppl!

P.S. I think today i'm a bit mean to Ant during office hours in MSN, wat he suggested reminds me of my experience of Fantasy Golf: u think u did a lot of researchs n picked ur players (stocks), turned out that they r not doing well on Day 1, u got nervous and whined abt their performance, switched to another one... and Day 2 the player picked up his streak and outperformed others... u whined even more on u missing the chance... but step back n think - u lose nothing... tis's just a game! okie stock mkt is talking abt money, but do think abt it... if u cannot take the risk... why in the game? tat's all abt GAMES! ahem.. maybe this picks up my investment mentality, thanks Tiger Woods hahaaahaha


新股掀熱潮 散戶也瘋狂
大連港申請表供不應求 2006年4月20日

【明報專訊】月底掛牌的新股上海集優及大連港進行招股,雖然分別於今明截止認購,但在恒生指數昨升穿16800點創出5年半新高兼巿值逼近10萬億下,散戶認購意欲極為高漲,其中獲和黃入股的大連港更出現申請表格「供不應求」現象。

大連港的上市保薦人BNP百富勤準備了80萬份「白表」(即散戶以個人身分認購),上周招股首日即派出逾20萬份,昨日更有部分派表行表格短缺。集優的反應則被大連港比下去,銀行未見搶表情况,有散戶更表示希望以3份集優表格,換來1份大連港表格。

在這股海狂潮中,有巿民掏出血汗積蓄申請新股,認為「抽中等於必賺」,以求在認購狂潮中分一杯羹。

在觀塘裕民坊,攝氏30度的高溫下氣氛異常緊張,一批市民拚命讀書寫字,恍如要參加一場全民考試﹕婆婆瞇着老花眼,研究1萬元支票上款應該寫給誰﹔裝修工人不懂得如何填表,更搞不清是自己入股的公司經營什麼業務。那邊廂有人高呼﹕「抽到一手都發達﹗」

觀塘區每戶入息中位數是每月13,000元,但昨天,這個社區像一夕間富起來。護衛員一擲2萬元申請4手大連港股票,是她3個月的薪金。的士司機豪擲7萬元入票,是載客1000次車程收入。

銀行內座無虛席,股民佔領着坐椅迷頭迷腦在填表。有人把申請表擱在大腿,攤開支票簿,豪氣地揮筆疾書,4000、8000、10,000元……像一場豪賭,大疊大疊地推出籌碼。

「抽到兩手,我就發達」

股民爭奪着銀行的兩個釘書機,把支票釘在申請表上,釘書釘也用光,惹來一陣騷動。一份一份的申請表和千千萬萬元的支票飄進收集箱。一名老伯說﹕「抽到兩手,我就發達。」

熱潮參與者有不少草根人士,記者在銀行觀察1小時,約有100張表格投箱,上面填寫的職業,是主婦、退休人士、文員、護衛員、推銷員、臨時工人。

這批草根階層不少都目不識丁,大嬸錯把支票上款誤寫給「匯豐銀行」(應該寫給招股單位),向銀行職員求助。維修工人無助地四處張望,「申請表上要填英文,我不懂得英文,怎辦﹖」旁邊的師奶教他寫上「worker」。記者問他知否上海集優的業務﹖他支吾以對﹕「好似係機器」。得悉「大連港」又在招股,他又興致勃勃去打探大連港在中國哪裏。

70多歲的鄧婆婆經驗較老到,準備充足。原來這位社工也醉心於股票,一老一嫰趁午飯時間一起鑽研。她用了4萬元買大連港及上海集優。

鄧婆婆說,以往她只愛投資藍籌股如匯豐及長實,「近年玩股仔搵到錢,叫做搵到餐晏仔。」至於兩隻新股業務,她就承認「知少少啦」。她近年戰績包括買入了「飲酒那一隻股票」(王朝酒業),上月又放了「有個金字那隻」(靈寶黃金),每隻賺了800至1000元。

鄧婆婆﹕輸了兒子賠給我

鄧婆婆說玩股心得是「千萬不要長揸,一上(掛牌)就要扔」。她說最慘烈一次是10年前「首長國際」輸掉20萬,不過「輸了兒子又賠給我。」兒子不會勸她嗎﹖「他自己玩得更狠,輸掉整層樓﹗」她見好即收「富貴險中求嘛﹗只是4萬元,形勢不對頭我就放」。她去年賺了數萬元,「足夠到美加旅行」。
