When a company is listedon the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promoteits development. When many promising companies offer their shares tothe public, a huge amount of money can be collected, which will boost the growth of the national economy.However, in a bear market most stocks depreciate , andmany investors lose money. Worse still, some companies make falsefinancial reports to cheat the public,which make the public lose more money .An unhealthy stock market is harmful to the country.888888888Do you think most people today will put their money in banks, the stock market or real estate? Why? It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put their money in the bank . It is true that bank interest rates are low. However, deposits in banks are safe. You can be almost in the 1990s, many Chineseseldom enter the stock because the stock depreciate easilyThe real estate【房地产】 market was hot, or rather overheated.NOw, the government publishs regulations to discourage The real estate .Soperhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the banks . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in banks for guaranteed returns.。
