Taking the stock market as an example, in 1986 there were only 130 companies on the market with a total capitalization of around NT $ 230 billion. At present, this has expanded to 250 companies with a capitalization of NT $ 610 billion. Moreover, the fall in real estate values has restricted the number of punters entering the battle field.
以股市為例，民國七十五年底，國內股市只有一百卅家上市公司、總資本額約二千三百多億台幣，目前已大幅增至二百十五家、六千一百多億；至於房市，則因上一波金錢遊戲中價格已炒高，加上貸款利率高、額度低，限制了投入戰場的人數。
