Sell This Weakening Chinese Online Game Developer

Robert Hsu, October 21, 2009

As one of the hottest trends in China, we took full advantage with our trade in this Chinese online game developer. It also provided us a way to profit from the booming IPO market in China. However, we took profits in the company after it couldn't reach the same rate of growth. Additionally, new regulation from Chinese authorities are putting too much uncertainty in the future of online gaming in China -- banning foreign investment, which is a negative even for domestic online game operators. more...

Gold Frenzy -- More Upside From Here?

Robert Hsu

Gold prices are high. In fact, they're at record heights -- and the question is, where will gold go from here?

Well, to put it simply, gold will continue moving higher for the near term. While there will be pullbacks, they represent buying opportunities rather than the end of the gold bull market.

In fact, I know investors who purchased Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) -- thinking they were buying the Chinese automaker that Warren Buffett made famous: BYD Company! But what all these investors are missing is that domestic Chinese automakers aren't the best way to play this opportunity. more...

Improving Jobs Situation in China

Robert Hsu

China has created some 7.6 million new jobs in the first eight months of this year -- putting the country fully on-track to surpass their full-year employment target! On the flip side, the U.S. has lost some 7.3 million jobs since the recession began.

So, though the U.S. employment data isn't currently weighing too heavily on the market, the long-term effects will be very damaging. For now, our best investment bet is in China, taking advantage of their dramatic growth and speedy economic recovery. more...
