Nope. I think the stock market is overheated now, so it's good to be a bit cautious.

No wonder you aren't rich. The Chinese stock market is in its biggest bull market in the last dozen years. Between the extraordinary mass of public capital, and then the 2008 Olympics and 2010 World Fair, there will be growth for at least two to three years. So I took the plunge and bought a lot of stock this year.
你别过分乐观了正是因为大家都这么说我才觉得可怕中国的股市还不太成熟散户太多了而且都是做短线的缺乏理智分析和一定的心理承受能力所以把钱放在股市是非常冒险的

Don't be too optimistic. The reason I feel scared is exactly because everyone is talking like you. The Chinese stock market still isn't mature yet. There are too many private investors, and they're all looking at the short term, lacking both rational analysis and a certain psychological endurance. This makes putting money in the stock market extraordinarily risky.
