To take the ebullient month of July 1997 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange as an example, in just 26 trading days, totaling less than 80 hours of trading time, the total value of shares traded was around NT $ 5.1 trillion, equivalent to more than four times the annual budget of the ROC central government (something over NT $ 1.2 trillion for fiscal 1998).
以八十六年七月人氣鼎沸的台北股市為例，在短短二十六個交易天、七十多小時的交易時數內，台北股市總共成交了價值約五兆一千多億元的股票，相當於我國中央政府四年多的總預算（八十七年度約為一兆二千餘億元）。
