"There is nothing to worry about since I'm used to this stock market drama. It's more that I have no confidence. I have no confidence with regards to the future of our capitalist market ... Even though the national team had tried to save the stock market countless times, the average investor isn't really too satisfied with the solution, nor were the measures that effective.
[But] I feel that our country will continue to take actions and have policies in place to ease the pressure since the Chinese government will not ignore the peoples' concern ... If you have enough money then, yes, many investors will still pay attention to stocks and see whether they will invest in it or not."

"Everyone needs to be careful when it comes to investment since it is risky. If you go into it blindly then you will encounter loss that could have been avoided ... You need to be careful when making investments, you also need to see if the company that you invest in is good or not ...
I feel that a country needs to follow the laws of the economy instead of jumping in to find the solution. Such enthusiasm cannot overtake what the economic law dictates. So you need to obey the economic laws. If the stocks are high then it will no doubt drop.
No one country in this world can have the capacity to save the stock market. This is impossible ... I can understand why investors are worried but no one can save this unreasonable investment frenzy. It is not right to think that someone will be there to solve problems relating to bad investment choices ... I feel that if the stock market drops then let it drop. It might pick itself back up. If everyone tries to think of ways to save the market then well, not everything can be saved."
