"This is an example of opportunism," explains Liu Tai-ying, chief of the Taiwan Economic Research Institute. "It is just like crowd psychology: when the price drops people think it will keep on dropping, so they wait; when the price goes up people think it will keep rising, so they speculate on that hope and buy."
台灣經濟研究所長劉泰英說：「這是投機心理作祟，就像人總喜歡往人多的地方擠一樣。大家總認為金價跌的時候，應該會再下跌，而採觀望態度；漲的時候，認為還會再上漲，因此拚命買進。」
