  1. CW,

    I stand corrected since Chinese is my 2nd language afterall...

    But I've never heard of "种植一棵供人乘凉的树,最好是在二十年前,但错过了那次机会,最佳的时机便是当下"???


    After doing my "Trust but Verify" due diligence by googling the above saying, I only found it to be a recent saying use by investment snake oils... If we don't invest now, how they earn fees and/or commissions?


    I've only know this Chinese wisdom about trees: 前人种树,后人乘凉.

    If we google it, its backed up by 5,000 years of Chinese history ;)


    See? Just say its a "Chinese proverb or ancient wisdom" and ang mohs or those weak in Chinese will blindly accept it as "truth".

    Right off the bat, what kind of "investor" are you?

    1. Snake oils are now found largely in investment and personal finance. All sound so wonderful and powerful. Must buy one and try out! Look at integrator sites!
