Today my Dad and I went to see the Hong Kong Stock Market Building. It was very interesting. We got to see all of their computers and big screens. It was their lunch hour, so the traders were not there.
I was interested in the stock for Cathay Pacific Airlines. If you wanted to buy a share of the company, it would cost $13 Hong Kong dollars. So it's just over $1 US to buy a tiny piece of the company. If you wanted to buy the whole company, it would cost $13 billion Hong Kong dollars.
