Is it illegual and even immoral that H. K. government holds 5.88 % of Hong Kong stock exchange and clearing? According to David Webb, the know person in Hong Kong security, Hong Kong government doesn't keep words for promising of not intervene the Hong Kong stock markets again. The funny act of Hong Kong government has made the public raised their eyebrows and become cynical to what the wrong doing of Hong Kong government.
Why did Chinese Industrial Stocks skyrocket on the Hong Kong market with news of the Bush Borrow and Give ??? What a great boom to Chinese Business. Bush is borrowing money from China to buy Chinese products from WallMart.
Should the stock market crash in China and Hong Kong to cool down overheated economy and staggering inflation? I rather angry for losing my Yahoo answer while answering a question about the benefits and harms to different groups of people in Shenzhen after it recognized as a "market city". I rather concern about the staggering inflation in China and Hong kong counterpart. I am aware that many young couples with university degrees and hold good jobs in Shenzhen can not afford to buy a small flat in Shenzhen. Many educated young couples in China and Hong Kong become mentally sick because they can't cope with the hardship of living standards of these market cities. The workload is so high and stressful in China and Hong Kong. One girl is reported dead a few days ago because of overtime work and office stress in a Japanese company in Shanghai, China.
Should the stock markets go clash in Hong Kong and China to cool overheated economy and lower the inflations? Hong Kong has a boost up economic outlook this year because the inclination of stock markets go nearly to 30,000 in Heng Seng index. We boasts Hong Kong has the highest numbers of rich citizens in Asia but the contemporary problem of highest gini coefficient of 0.535 reflecting the poor and rich gap is highest among all developed counties with estimated two millions out of slightly less than seven million population. Hong Kong has no pension for the retired citizens The damn fruit fund only pays ranging from $625-705 per month which is equivalent to less than one hundred US dollars. Canadians are entitled to equivalent to 8,000 to 9,000 Hong Kong dolllars per month. What a great comparison and contrast between Hong Kong and Canada? The recent TV programs showed many university graduated young couples are tending to have mental disease problem because the housing prices go up twice as much as last year. They can't afford to buy a small living unit in Shenzhen, the damned "market city" . I want to say Hong Kong has estimated more than two millions out of less than seven millions total population are currently live under the poverty line. Hong Kong government should provide assistance to those welfare families. Just this week, there are many shocked suicide incident happened in Hong Kong. Do you think god will allow a welfare recipient who stole an organge pack of HK.$14 (less than two US dollars) jumped out of the window and killed herself in this city of no mercy! Hong Kong government must provide a basic pension fund to citizens who reached the age of 60s as the basic needs. Hong Kong citizens are experiencing hard to get works at their 50s. Why the god damned Donald Tsang Yum-Kuen entitled to have his already too much overpaid salary and benefit by 90k dollars each month. He is not a good catholic; he has no compassion; he is not even a normal human kind. I think a basic pension of at least $4,000 a month is just about right in Hong Kong for retiree reach age 60
how to start trading in the stock market?? I m a new high-school graduate, want to have some knowledge about the stock market in Hong kong, how and from where to start, how much minimum $$ do i need to have? i have also studied in commerce tht i can also buy debentures, and make guaranteed interest, how much $$ do i need for tht and how can i start??
Should Hong Kong government and the lawmakers establish a pension fund,say 5 thousand dollars for age of 60? It is pain in the ass for me and my Chinese hudsband and young Ashly to live in a public housing apartment in Hong Kong. Our plan is to retire in Phillipine where the living standard is much lower than Hong Kong. MY hudsband doesn't speak English or Phillipino language. I speak three different languages. My hudsband will probably get a culture shock when we both retire in my native country. THe Hong Kong public sector has squeezed a lot of Hong Kong dollars by land sales, property transactions and rental incomes, income taxes and business taxes, gambling and stamp taxes from the stock markets. All Hong Kong civil servants are overpaid and collect the fat cat pension. THe Hong Kong civil servant pension should have adjusted to have the upper limit. They should provide pension fund for the getting larger senior citizens community. Say, five thousands for those ages reached 60 and have resided Hong Kong for at least ten years. This will certainly become a public demand in Hong Kong now.
How do I trade stocks in Hong Kong and China from US? I would like to invest in China's stock market. I'm currently living in US now. Is there a brokerage that allow me to do that?

Why the Hong Kong correction centre for the juvenline delinquency let the offenders commit a crime inside ? It is a serious of crime that two juvenline offenders aged both 17 committed a serious and immoral crime inside the Hong Kong Correction Centre for the juvenline delinquency. The two offenders forced another two young adults aged 13 and 14 to take off their clothes and ran a round inside the correction centre. The more shocking crime was that the two young adults were forced to do masturbate in front of them. I was shocked for this news and don't believe it happens in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a city where the peoples are in decompostion of culture, don't give a damn to each other, and gambling or stock market index are what they care for. There are too many severe juvenline delinquency cases in Hong Kong. Many killed their new borned babies. A city of no mercy, no concern, morale declined. Hong Kong is a god damned evil and expensive to live and raise a family. What the hacks of the Hong Kong government, politicians and eductors do? Just taking a lot of monies out of the systems?
Just bought a manufacturing firm, and thinking about outsourcing to India...should I? It was a good deal for us, cause even though the firm was profitable, we can take profits even higher by relocating our manufacturing elsewhere, and bringing the goods back here to market, plus we will have new markets over there too as a result. Its not a big firm, and we would only be giving pink slips to 100 workers in the Cleveland area. We will then invest our new higher profits in the Hong Kong stock market and other foreign investments where things are hot right now.... IS this a good plan?

Enlighten me. Why dumping PetroChina stock helps Darfur? I just sold 1/3 of my PetroChina stock today. But its becase that baby has gained a mere 600% since I bought it in '03 (?). Besides Warren Buffett is doing the same thing. But I really don't see how this can help the Darfur cause. Last time I checked, China has 1.3 Tribllion foreign researve!!! Yes, Trillion. Shouldn't we be more worried that they will dump US bond? And PetroChina is going to list itself in Shanghai in a few weeks and there is no shortage of buyers. Hong Kong mareket was up 10% in a week after China announced it would allowe its citizens to invest in Hong Kong market. Do they really need our money?

REPLY linzhonh@hotmail.com Sincerely yours, Mr. linzhonh V.P. Finance The LOTTERY COORDINATOR. en. beijing2008. cn AND THE SCAM PART IS THIS: Scam Related to the 2008 Beijing OlympicsWe have recently seen a scam purporting to be from the China National Offshore Oil Corporation that makes claims of winning money and a trip to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. The email looks like the usual "Winning Notification" lottery emails that are all too common. However, the twist is that not only do you "win" money, but you also win a trip to the 2008 Olympics. This is the first scam that we have seen that tries to live off the name of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The China National Oil Corporation is currently a hot stock market pick and owns a certain portion of valuable crude oil worldwide. By utilizing this known company to promote a "free" trip to the Olympics the scammer is looking to receive a lot of interest on this offer. And what does the spammer hope to receive in return? Valuable personal information. Here is a sample of one of the spam emails: From: XXXXXX@hotmail.com Subject: CONGRATULATION!!!! Beijing 2008 Olympics games promotion WINNING NOTIFICATION/ FINAL NOTIFICATION We happily announce to you the results of the China National Offshore Oil Corporation Olympic LOTTO AWARDS,International online Sweepstakes ……which subsequently won you the lottery in the 2nd category i.e. match 5 plus bonus. Our organization here in China decided to sponsor 100 eligible adults to visit the Peoples Republic of China in August for the Olympics and you have therefore been approved to start the process of opening line of communication with our agents in other to obtain visit permits. Your agent will immediately commence the process to facilitate the release of your funds as soon as you contact him and provide him with the below details. *Name of Winner: *Address: *Nationality: *Sex: *Tel: *Occupation: *Age: *Amount Won: *Lucky Nos: *Ticket No: The fact that the company this scam is purportedly coming from is a hot stock market pick right now combined with winning money and a free trip to the Olympics is bound to incite interest amongst recipients. This is a classic example of enticement. Scammers that pretend to come from a well known source immediately ease the recipient's doubts using the "known" factor. Then, they offer up free goods. In this case, the free goods consist not only of money but also coveted Olympics tickets. As always, be cautious of opening and/or responding to unsolicited email. Before you open any email, be certain that you are expecting the email or at least have a good idea of what it is about, you know the sender, and that the sender's email address is familiar. The unfortunate part of this classic type of ruse is that in many cases, the old adage applies: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Tension, disaster, turbulence - welcome to the Year of the Rat? What do you think of the Chinese Prediction? Sounds like Revelations>> HONG KONG (AFP) - The Year of the Rat threatens to see a build-up of international tensions, natural and air disasters, and a more turbulent stock market, soothsayers and analysts say. Yahoo news As the Year of the Pig ends tonight, followers of Chinese superstition will be scurrying to consult fortune-tellers, astrologers and feng shui geomancers to guide their year ahead. Chinese fortunes are based on a belief that events are dictated by the different balances in the elements that make up the earth -- gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Feng shui master Raymond Lo says this year will see the earth element sitting atop water, suggesting an outward solidity built on sliding foundations. "The earth on top is Yang earth which symbolises a mountain, and mountain gives a sense of stability and firmness. But such floating earth in the ocean is weak in foundation and the stability appears to be fragile

A Justice Department audit released Thursday blamed the lost connections on the FBI's lax oversight of money used in undercover investigations. In one office alone, unpaid costs for wiretaps from one phone company totaled $66,000. In at least one case, a wiretap used in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act investigation "was halted due to untimely payment," the audit found. FISA wiretaps are used in the government's most sensitive and secretive criminal and intelligence investigations, and allow eavesdropping on suspected terrorists or spies
