EKM, the Chinese market IS NORMALIZING and that's why we are seeing a correction.
The context of my meaning is that the Chinese market will eventually stablize. Their stock markets aren't going to continue to spiral downwards forever. Could it be lower than where their past growth was this year and next? Most likely, but that doesn't mean it can't recover down the road.
Investing in startup is very risky, but because the stock market is view as next to no return, people who want make money will have to venture. This is what my research have directed me. This is why I promote not investing in the stock market any more because the stock market you invest in is highly passive. Only market with active participates are vibrant.
Uhhh, yeah its passive (not sure how that’s news, unless you trade actively for gains), because most people who buy stock are not going to buy enough to get a seat on the board, just like someone who invest in startups will not always actively participate in company decisions (i.e. they too are passive, unless you work there).
I’m not saying to not invest in startups. I’m just trying to let other people know that there are A LOT of risk with startups, moreso than the stock market. So before they invest (passively), they need to understand that it will be a long time before they see the fruits of their investment, IF they even see it. When start ups fail (9 out of 10 do), they will lose ALL of their money. There is a reason why people or entities with LOTS and LOTs of money invest, because they can offset the lost from one start up with the gains from another. Can you do that? I'm guessing since you don't have LOTs and LOTs of money, you are putting your eggs in just one basket. In that case....GOOD LUCK...cuz you're gonna need it.
