林行止、香港、會計師

「香港怪現象之最是會計師經常評論政經事務,此為世界所無的香港畸態。」

The above line appears in Mr Lam's column today. Right on. More here.

個人感受較深的是,「有人誤會你是市場專家,應作出嚴正聲明—估計短期貨幣、股票和期貨價格,並非你的專業範圍」。自進研究院始,不知何解親友總是要求評論股樓,若以通脹、貨幣政策答之,即一哄而散。

在書局,每見經濟欄目之下盡是投資書籍,皆感戚然。

Dear Ming, I agree with your remarks totally.

Most people that I have encountered, once they realize that I study economics, they will immediately ask me what is my view on stock markets, trends of exchange rate...I usually simply respond with a smile...

Seriously, if I am so smart as to be able to predict such trends, I would be extremely rich already by now, wouldn't I?

One time my brother asked, do you think the stock market will continue its uptrend.

Stock market can go up and down came my reply.
