So what does everyone think? I admit I'm baffled to see stock prices keep going up. The Dow Jones is at an all-time high. The Hong Kong Hang Seng made a new all-time high. Japan is rebounding.
I just don't see why everyone thinks everything is rosy. The valuations of internet companies are crazy (again). Chinese banks and Asian stocks in general are being hyped to the moon. Who here is buying? |
I have invested with a friend in the past. It is something that I would like to do again, but at times become afraid at attempting to undersand all the variables that go into the stock market.
