Sheren Tang Has Lost Money on Investments Sheren Tang and Monica Chan were guests at the opening of the "Asia International Antiques Expo 2007" and took part in a charity event earlier to raise money for the Pok Oi Hospital. The ladies also worked hard to help sell some ornaments that had been made by some grannies to raise money. Edison Chen and his father Mr Chen were also there with some friends. Sheren says that she is just an ordinary citizen, so she does not have much money to dabble in antiques, so she was only there to admire the works. Although there is investment value and collectibility in antiques, she finds them far too expensive. Asked if she has invested in property or stocks and shares, she says: "No! In the past I bought an apartment, but it ended up in negative equity and now I just rent my home. I also lost money on shares, so I am afraid now. The most I buy now is food and I keep my money in the bank, but I will be investing in a trust fund soon." Monica is also an admirer of antiques and once wanted to become an archeologist, but after watching "Raiders of the Lost Ark", she gave up on the idea because she is afraid of insects. As well as antiques, Monica is also interested in diving and she once took part in a relic dive, where they found a Southern Song Dynasty wreck, making her very happy at fulfilling her ambition. She says: "I am happy that I could put my hand out to touch it. The funniest thing was when my friends asked if I had collected any antiquities, but I said that I had nowhere to put it because my diving suit was too tight!" She also found that there were a lot of black objects for sale there and she bought it without knowing what it was. Then her friends cleaned it up and found it to be a silver nugget.
