Unlike the end of last year, stock investment is no longer a hot issue among college students in Shenzhen because the collapse of the Chinese stock market sent many students fleeing.
There are roughly 90 percent fewer postings sharing stock investment information on the electronic bulletin board at Shenzhen University than last year, according to one of the board’s administrators surnamed Xiao.
“As far as I know, most of the student investors have lost at least 40 percent of their capital, and some have even lost 60 to 80 percent,” he said.
