According Fung Yu-lan, one of the most eminent Chinese philosophers of the 20th century, the original concern of philosophical Taoism (flourishing between 6th and 3rd century b.c.) is "how to preserve life and avoid harm and danger in the human world."(1) We could compare this Taoist concern with the investor's primary aim of "how to preserve capital in the tumultuous world of finance." Professor Fung classifies Taoism into three different phases, which seem to parallel the three progressive and ambivalent attitudes of the investors toward Wall Street. http://www.international...com/wbcm5-1/WbMartin.htm Copyright © Martin Lu 2002 Zen Ninja Turtle Copyright © Turtle 2005
