The 56-year-old retiree, who lives in Shanghai, dabbles a bit in local stocks, exchanging investment tips with what she calls her "mah-jongg friends," a group that gets together each week to play and chat. Just before the Chinese New Year holiday last month, one of her friends spoke ominously of rumors that China's government was planning a crackdown on stock speculation, including a possible tax on capital gains.

Golden Boy was probably thinking of 'pulling the pin' as he would always say until Golden Boy and Hudaifah had a nice little chat and patched things up.
