« With the flooding financial infonnation and the robust stock market, many Hong KODgers have entered

ered the so called "stock

market casino". Many players have lost their blood and sweat money on a flash of the idea of luck. Secondary school students are

not immune from the lure of stock market, and are deep into the belief of making easy and fast profit. Should we allow our kids

to have an early try on the market, saying that 'failme and mistakes is the mother to success" and investment lessons should start

early. remains a dilemma. Express your opinions through an email to the Student Unio . Wong.

Stock market is one of the major means to eam money in Hong Kon~ Nearly every

adult engages in buying and selling of stocks. They have a feeling that money is all

coming to them when they're working out their plans. This thought drives secondary

school students to enter the "stock market casino" and invest money in it. They do not

give l' saying that failure is needed to succeed, and study investment earJy. This

draws them away from their study and creates a thinking of money means everything.

This is not an unpleasant result. We should not encourage early encounter with the

stock market among students.

this early age, it is not the perio

learning the fundamental skills of life. We should consider what if students are

secretly checking up their phone at schools all day to refresh the information of the

stock market then they will never amount to an~g. ~~. f~ f.~

wearing a blinder at the same time. The route is unpredictable and unforeseeable. We

never affirmatively gain iusi~ it and we don't know when we can leave without any
