I Hope You Don't Own This Sinking Travel Company!

Robert Hsu, December 15, 2009

As you know, I love to travel. And in my travels I've found some excellent trading opportunities, like this play on the packaged tour segment of Chinese travel that had quickly risen to be the number-two travel company in China. However, I recommended my Asia Edge subscribers sell the company after its service went downhill at the same time that its competitors were improving. In addition, the Chinese travel season had passed. And now, with the company diluting current shareholders, I recommend keeping this company very firmly away from your portfolio. more...

Asian Nations Continue to Lead Global Recovery

Robert Hsu

Asian economies, led by China, are posting strong economic numbers and continue to pave the way forward for the global recovery. In fact, policy makers in China, India and Vietnam are slightly tightening monetary policy amid signs of accelerating growth.
