Chinese farmer invested life savings in stocks, lost it all
But after sinking his entire life savings—$164,000—and his relatives' money into shares of a local mining company, he lost everything. Not only that, but Yang's brokerage convinced him to borrow more than $1 million to buy stocks on margin. He now owes roughly what he originally invested after liquidating his portfolio.

As long as no one else did that it's contained.
Rob Dawg,
I believe there was only one... who gambled exactly $164,000.00 of his own money, borrowed more than a million, invested it all in just one local mining company, whose name was Yang, who now owes what he originally started with, and who was willing to talk about it today.
So, it seems relatively contained, lol. Sigh. ;)
"When the market climbed to 4,000 points, I realized the risks were pretty high. However, public opinion on government policies affected my judgment," he told CNBC.
Hmm, what is the public opinion on government policies in the US? It surely hasn't affected anyone's judgment. Hahaha!
Mr Slippery,
Hmm, what is the public opinion on government policies in the US?
As long as the public believes that the government's policies have permanently put an end to recessions, does the public's opinion really matter?
Hmm, I may need to rephrase the question. Is belief an opinion or can it simply be taken on faith?
Oops. I keep digging the logic hole deeper and it's making me dizzy. Sorry about that.
