There is a street in Amsterdam the Netherlands with almost the same name, Wallen street - But I don't think you are referring to the red light district.

The stock exchange at Wall street you are referring to also may have the same financial implications to you. Give , give give.

The street name where the exchange is situated is sometimes used to identify the exchange.

Wall Street is like your Hong Kong Stock Market, except without adult supervision.

haha, I paid more actively attention to it once more, It trend to locate in a city somewhere, not in the country in usa. Certainly in a certain city in usa. seems famous very much. where is it?

Does it has sweet potato stall along the street? Do you enjoy this food? In Beijing, there are many such stalls, where give out good smell of taste it to tempt to buy to eat it.

Thanks above, but I m not able to access to the linking temporarily.

Hi cnpower (I keep on adding another c to read CNCpower)

The stock exchange is an independent organization in a capitalist economy with many duties.

One of their duties is to raise capital for new or extending development.

The public then can invest in a company by buying shares (stock)

It is rather like owing a portion of the food stall. and every time somebody buys a product a small portion of the profit will end up in your pocket. Sort of having your savings money working for you.

There is always a risk when you invest money. The business could be mismanaged or struck by some or other disaster. usually the profit however increases with risk.

How to invest? Public cannot go to the exchange and buy or sell stocks (It is almost a madhouse in there in any case) any must deal through a stock broker.

The alternative is to invest in unit trusts, These lot have a wide range of shares and each investor then only owns a portion of that. In this method the risk is lower but the gains are also smaller. What you get there is usually a small steady growth.

Hi cnpower

It is the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) in Wall street on Manhattan island, New York , USA.

It is not a place of much interest to the ordinary citizen. Most people are not curious enough to even care.

Unfortunately I am curios and have wasted some time at the JSE (Hollard street at that stage). It is like a beehive in there. most of them do not seem to achieve anything but yet they come back day after day and do (or don't do) whatever they try to do.

Then there were indecisive men writing figures on a black board, Just to change it from time to time whenever he feels like it. It would have been better if he wrote it down and went for a beer.

Actually he was writing down the current price - They are all on a buy low sell high strategy.

CNC ? are yoiu working on this kind of machine? computer numerical control machine is also produced and exported by our country now.

In the internet domain name system, CN present China.

The cape of good hope, a good place, it s famous with its storm and huge wave. a Chinese navigator has ever been there before 600 years. I was told there still is his remains.

Now it will busy very much, because of Somali pirate.( but most people dont think they are true pirate, because they defend their sea and dont kill).

are they looking like those who appeared in the movies? these movies play these pivate as hero.

I hvnt seen sea.

Yes on CNC routers.

Currently on (German made) Isel's now fitted with DMC controllers made by Galil.

We had a look at Chinese machines - really good value for money,

We know about the Chinese visiting our shores but it does not appear in our history books (which only start from 1652). Lately our books concentrate on the black migration down from Africa.

Robin Hood was also a (land) pirate hero.

How far are you from Hong Kong?

You are naive, I know the cope of good hope, and 17 centure history, of cuase I know well what the wall street is and what they play role on the financial in usa, in the world.

Wjat I want to see is how their american reflect against the financial crisis issue. and what will they do?

However, I thank you for your answer.

It appears most of american who come here avoid this issue.

btw, are their blackmen imigrate to south africa or white? I think it should be the later. right?
