From the thread "Shanghai investors earn an average amount of 150,000 yuan ($24,190) from the stock market"

A ranking of the profits earned by Chinese stock market investors across the nation by Internet financial data service provider 0033.com shows that the average amount of profits that the mainlanders earned between January and April of this year was 13,960 yuan per person.

Among them, Shanghai residents earned the most with 156,400 yuan, who were followed by Beijingers at 80,200 yuan. Zhejiang Province came in at 36,900 yuan, Guangdong Province with 29,000 yuan, Fujian Province at 24,100 yuan and Jiangsu Province with just 18,400 yuan.

The figures stirred heated discussions on the Internet. Some comments are as follows:

"Monday morning is relatively tough, but when I opened my browser and read the news headline that 'during the first four months of this year 99.5 percent of stock rose and that Shanghai investors earned an average amount of 150,000 yuan,' I was even more depressed."

"As a regular investor who has experienced lots of ups and downs, I'm not pleased that they used an average figure to describe my experience. Compared with the income of Shanghai white-collar workers and Shanghai residents' housing area, the figure of an 'average' profit from the stock market is ridiculous."'

From the thread "Chinese urban women's consumption habit"

A survey conducted among Chinese urban women revealed that 76 percent of women have their own bank accounts and 48 percent have their own credit cards, which indicates their independent economic status in their families.

As a result, 63 percent of women browse online at least once a day every day for products or services, but the survey showed that there is no difference in consumption habits between women living in first- and second-tier cities with women from third- or fourth-tier cities. No matter where they live, most obtain information from the same sources: websites and WeChat.

However, women from second- or third-tier cities have more spare time than women in first-tier cities, which makes that group more aware of new products. Ironically, women in third- and fourth-tier cities have more enthusiasm and interest in luxury bands than women in first- and second-tier cities.

Most women decide their household budgets for daily necessities. They share the decision-making on larger expenditures such as electronic products and travels.

Ten years ago, the online participation rate of Chinese and American women on Internet forums was 38 percent and 80 percent respectively. But today, that rate is 79 percent and 80 percent respectively.
