Today we started off the day
attending an NTNU brand management class where the students were presenting a
case on eHarmony. Then we went to the
Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and were taught about the history and current
status of the market. They have 809
stocks listed. About 22% of stocks are
purchased by foreign institutions and 63% by domestic individuals here in
Taiwan. 40% of the Taiwan population
owns stock. Most are common people with
little knowledge of investing because of this the TWSE has set up controls to
help limit the risk for its people. We
learned that there can only be a 7% change in the stock price each day, the trading
hours are 9 to 1:30 (short), and they do not operate with continuous trading. Before we left we took a group picture and
were told it would be on the TWSE website - http://www.twse.com.tw/en/block/guestinfodetail.php?id=105.
Next we headed to lunch where I had
Din Tai Fung’s chicken soup dumplings.
They were amazing. I would say
they were the best food I had so far.
From there were went to Franz to learn about their history and see their
pieces. I really enjoyed the tour and
seeing both the digital and artistic creations.
My favorite part of the whole day was seeing their 3D printer.
