Speculation refers to the act of transaction that has the risk of losing value but also holds the expectation of a significant gain. Without the prospect of substantial gains, there would be little motivation to engage in speculation.

Hong Kong is one of the largest speculation places in the world. Everything has a chance for speculation such as property, shoes, tickets even face masks. But is it a good sign for the economy? Or does it mean that people are at risk of losing something important?

投機是指有損失價值的風險但又持有顯著收益預期的交易行為。

如果沒有大幅收益的前景,就幾乎沒有參與投機的動力。香港是世界上最大的投機地之一。一切都有投機的機會,比如房產、鞋子、門票甚至口罩。

但這對經濟學來說是個好兆頭嗎?或者這意味著人們同時失去了 一些東西?
