| Abstract: | Investors are queueing to buy a piece of China's boomtowns. Should you join them? When Hong Kongers shop, they give it their all. Last week thousands of people lined up to buy a piece of China's capital city. And they were prepared to pay. Office workers, taxi drivers and housewives put down HK$240 billion ($31 billion) in deposits for the initial public offering - or IPO - of Beijing Enterprises Holdings, the investment arm of the municipal government of Beijing. |
