投資是你的選擇嗎?|谷哥點名#12 投資|Is your investment really your own decision?

這次是谷歌點名活動的第十二回了，感謝 @jubi的舉辦跟熱烈參與的各位。這一次的主題為 “投資”，看到這個就想到最近比特巾的大升市，我只能說一句可惜啊，因為小弟手上沒有比特巾，反而只有一些在這一波升市當中不停下跌的虛擬貨巾。而且更什的是香港最近其中一間交易所不能提存，想要入手溝貨的渠道又少了一個。另一邊廂，中國又全面的禁止比特幣跟虛擬貨幣的交易，可以入手買貨的渠道馬上又少了幾個。

This is the 12th time I join this contest. Thanks @jubi hard work and all the support from everyone. This time, the topic is investment. When I first see this topic, it immediately let me think about the recent raise of the price for the BTC. And I just can be sad for this, as I have not held any BTC on my hand, but those alt-coin which drop so much in this period of time. What worse is there is one exchange cannot be deposited and withdrawal recently, and we have one less way to buy BTC. On the other hand, China have banned all the activity of BTC and other alt-coin, so the buying method becomes really little now.

所以，當我看到這一期的谷歌點名的題目時，還真的有點感概，很多時候我們以為我們投資什麼，是我們自己的選擇。可是，抬頭看一看，我們會發覺原來我們的投資並不真的是我們自己的決定。很多時候，我們都是被外來的環境所局限，正如上面的例子，商業決定、政策這些東西都在緊緊的朿縛著我們的決定。

So, when I see this topic, I do have some bad feeling on it. We always think that we are the one to control what we are investing, which is our own choice. However, if we really look it up, we will find that actually a lot of investment is not really our own choice. We do being affected by a lot of environmental or other reasons a lot of time. Just as the sample above, the business decision from others, the government policy, etc, actually forcing us not to choose our own choice.

好了，可能大家會覺得那是一些牽涉大量金錢的東西嘛，所以入埸比困難、選擇比較少、監管比較多也許是應該的，也不比怪那麼多。那我們就不要說商品、貨幣、虛擬貨幣這些比較商業，比較規範的東西，讓我們說一說另一種投資吧。就說一說投資健康吧，談到健康，第一件事當然是做運動，可是這可以不需要金錢，有點難比較，那就讓我們談一下各種健康產品吧。

Alright, you may think that as those things involve too much money, and that’s the reason why the entry is so difficult, choice is so less and control is so much. Alright, then let’s don’t talk about commodity, currency or cryptocurrency, let’s talk about other investment. Let’s invest our health! When we talk about health, the most important thing is of course exercise, but it can be free, and hard to compare. So, let’s talk about those health supplements.

這是我最近的經歷，話說因為父母都開始上了年紀了嘛，所以身體開始有各種的小毛病。最近他們開始有些關節病，看醫生後醫生說是關節的軟骨開始退化，建議吃一點葡萄糖胺。因為，我也做了一些資料搜集，看一看有哪一種品牌會比較好。可是最後卻發現原來在香港可以買得到的葡萄糖胺保健產品，它的葡萄糖胺濃度都不怎麼高。再查下去，原來是政府的一些操施不讓市面上售賣高濃度的葡萄糖胺保健產品。

That’s my recent experience. As my parents are getting older, and they have got some little problem on their body. And recently they joint feel a bit pain, and the doctor said this is the problem of degeneration, and taking Glucosamine can help. So, I have performed some research on it, to see which brand of supplement would be better. However, I found that most of the brand available in Hong Kong, their concentration of Glucosamine is not really high. And when I further check it, which is the government policy not letting those high concentration brands sell on the market.

我一開始在想，是不是因為太高量的葡萄糖胺對人體有害呢?所以又做了一點調查，發現沒有明確的文獻有記載。反而在看一些歐洲跟澳洲的保健產品時，發現其他國家的葡萄糖胺保健產品的濃度可是比香港市面上的高出四倍以上，而看人家的評價，其效果也比較好。這就讓我很郁悶了，我們難道連投資健康這方面也被限制了嗎？

At the beginning, I am think about would it be the high concentrated Glucosamine may harm the body which lead such reason? So I perform some other research on the web and cannot find any prove of it. And actually for other country out of Hong Kong, e.g. Europe or Australia, the Glucosamine product on the market have 4 times concentration more than Hong Kong, and when I see the feedback from others, it seems like the effect is even better. And that really confused me that, I was restricted even I am choosing for the investment of my health?

最後，我想說的就是，很多時候我們以為我們的投資意向、決定是出於我們自己的本意。可是，當你再往深一層想的時候，你就會發覺原來不是如此。我們的意向根本一直被很多不同的東西所限制了、所誤導了，而最後自以為是自己的決定，其實往往只不過是被引導下的決定，投資如是；人生亦如是。

So, at the end, I would like to say usually we always think that our investment decision and direction is based on our own will. However, when you think deeper, you will find that it is totally not. Our mind always distracted by a lot of restriction, and most of the time our decision is made under an invisible guidance. It’s the case for investment, also for the case of our life.
