Seoul —
Jennifer Ke, a 35-year-old working in operations at a cryptocurrency firm, never paid much attention to Taiwan’s stock market.
But her colleagues were constantly discussing their latest stock trades. One boasted of making at least one million Taiwanese dollars, or about $31,000, on a single stock.
Then, over dinner with a friend in April, Ke confessed she was constantly thinking about ways to boost her income.
“He told me, ‘Oh, you should just invest in stocks,’” Ke recalled. “I started to think that, ‘Okay, this might be the opportunity.’”
