| yes, i wouldn't recommend it beafan for example who was strictly setting the risk level to "low".
the personal feeling next to the financial circumstances is important to decide the risk level of a personal investment. for me it would be really just about maybe 2-3%, which i could invest in derivates and loose this small percentage completely in the worst case. but as i'm not doing it for living and have no time to watch the portfolio more than a several times a week, i would rather prefer to have some structured products with capital protection.
freeier, do you know where it is possible to buy such products? in germany we have got stock codes for these products available everywhere and with the certain type of account for private investors it's very easy to buy them instantly with extended trading hours. but here in hkg i couldn't find anything and structured products in hkg seem to be available only to commercial investors and large companies who e.g. are hedging against oil and/or currencies.
for example i could find the previously mentioned product from societe generale only on the their dedicated german website for structured products with a disclaimer which prevents usa residents even to to only enter it. but there are other many products with even better capital protection, in which i am interested. i just don't know whether it is possible at all for a private customer to buy such products in hkg.  |
