TAIPEI - When the Covid-19 pandemic prevented international travel, Singaporean singer-actor Huang Jinglun decided to channel his travel funds into buying stocks. However, the investment went awry.
In an episode of Taiwanese variety show Like It Tonight broadcast last Wednesday , he revealed that he bought stocks - which he did not name - based on a friend's recommendation. " this will go up tomorrow, I've seen it for a long time! You will never see this price again in the future," his friendly reportedly told him.
The 38-year-old, who is married with a son, said he went ahead with the transaction. He did not specify how much he invested, but noted:"Sure enough, I have never seen this price again" as the stock price consequently sank." What kind of mentality is that?" he lamented.
