中国人投资之怪现状
一代又一代想壮阳的中国男人一直迷信一种传统中药，那就是冬虫夏草。这是一种寄生在死 去的毛毛虫体内的真菌，今天在某些地方被称为“喜马拉雅伟哥”。
现在，中国的投资者正试图利用这种稀有真菌来提振他们的另外一样东西：投资回报。据福 州经纪商兴业证券(Industrial Securities)的数据，虫草的价格在过去两年翻了一倍，顶级虫草 的价格现在达到了每磅 11,500 美元（约合每公斤 20 万元）以上。 视频：冬虫夏草能助力中国经济？
在股市下跌、房地产市场、银行存款回报微不足道的情况下，中国投资者寄希望于一些 特别的投资品，有“喜马拉雅伟哥”之称的冬虫夏草便是其中之一。
在中国股市下跌、房地产市场停滞、银行存款回报微不足道的情况下，中国投资者一直在一 些奇怪的领域寻找帮助。除了传统中药产品之外，他们还把资金投到了艺术品份额、国产烈 酒、红木家具以及玉石等产品上，所有这些都与西方的资产类别格格不入。
中国中药协会(China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine)中药材信息中心主任龙兴超 说，从微观层面看，投机已经显现。该协会说，自 2010 年以来，红参，太子参等中药的价 格已经大幅上涨，部分原因就在于投机。但龙兴超坚持认为并未形成价格泡沫。他说，既然 没有泡沫，也就不会破裂。 为利用这一热潮获利，中国各地涌现出各种花样迭出的交易所。南京医药股份有限公司延长了交易时间，这样一来投资者下班回家后还能交易。该交易所在网站上说，延长交易时 间让投资者“坐在家里也赚钱”。
允许投资者买卖单件艺术品份额的交易所也已经出现。去年夏季，天津一位未具名卖家发售 画作《荷风千秋》的 3,000 万份额，首发价格是每份 1.61 元（约合 25 美分）。两天后，投资
者就将其价格捧高 52%，使画作的估值达到了约 1,150 万美元。之后，份额价格开始下跌， 当前的价格比最初发行价低 36%。《荷风千秋》的作者崔如琢并没有从份额发行中获利。他 说，艺术品市场仍有支撑，现在还没有到达高点。
投资者还对白酒产生了兴趣。茅台酒现在每瓶价格在 300 美元以上，比一年前翻了一番。茅
台是中国最受欢迎的白酒，曾经为毛主席所锺爱。
北京歌德拍卖有限公司(Beijing Googut Auction Co.)上个月举行过一场白酒拍卖会。该公司董 事长刘晓伟说，白酒在过去仅用于消费，但现在也被藏家收藏用于投资。
