Overview
“HOUSEWIVES” always are the good long term bets compared to the other options. As a stockbroker, WONG CHI CHUNG (Tse Tin Wah) is not cunning and tricky enough. Many of his customers have turned to the new securities firm in the same estate. Top broker of the firm, TING SHIU KING (Lam Ka Wah), tries to expand his customer base by developing the housewives market.

CHUNG wants CHU to stop indulging in stock market and they fight with each other all the time.

While everybody has become a devoted stockholder, the market suddenly drops drastically…
