為什麼香港人喜歡炒炒炒?人人工作心不在焉對香港好嗎?

There are actually not only HK people like speculating, people everywhere like this as it is the fastest and easilest way to make money. For example: taxi drivers make $300 per day but they can just buy and sell a particular stock to gain several thousands dollar per day.
However, they will also bear the risks of loss, it is because speculating in stock markets do not guarantee making money, simetimes they will lose.
Furthermore, not all people like speculating in stock markets. Some of them are still very hard working and concentrating in their jobs. As they have had bad experience during 1997 and 2000 when the stock markets collapsed and they incurred loss.
