Is it ZXD? Interesting papers. I thought he worked somewhere in Harvard University. Noticed his email adress years ago when when exchanged the argument on the "consistency" of "forum behavior". :) - Re: 介绍Mr Zhu Xiao Diposted on 02/28/2006

Should we check with you first before we invest in the next housing bubble?
Very nice to 'meet' you. - posted on 03/01/2006
Mr. 81,
You may have lost money if you have asked me. I didn't predict such a booming housing market when I started working here in 1997. Karl Marx's mother is allegedly to have said that she wished that her little Karl had a little more actual capital than have studied on capital. I wish I had a little more housing than I have studied on housing, I guess. By the way, I heard the late famous economist Yang Xiaokai lost all of his investment in HK. So, no one can pedict the market. Wish everyone good luck.
