Fund and ETF

Since I'm living in China, Stock trading is like a comment flu nowaday. You see people talking about it everyday. I started stock trade since I make my first pay check in the 96. I never did make lot of money, but I havn't loss any either. The fact in china is, may company are still not very open and you never know their profile is 100% true or just a story they make up. But the hard fact is it grown like crazy, so everybody feel missing out when they are not in it. Lot of people think ( including myself ) Fund and ETF index will able to reduce risk in a long term investment point of view. ( I still believe that ) But how much of the investment growth are you expecting, what kind of return are you looking for. Setting a year 100% growth in last couple year seem to be very easy, however, in my book 30% growth is already high high return. When I look around and people start planning on double or even tripling their investment, I started to think they are just gambling rather then investing.
