I did not got it from the IPO allocation. WR Hambrecht did call me but I was not near the phone. When I called back, they told me they already offered the shares to others. This may be a good thing as the share was priced at 5.50, below the original price range of 6.50 to 8.

Yahoo Finance CN is not Perfect

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Last Updated on March 29, 2007 by stlplace

I found Yahoo Finance (China version) is not good enough. For instance, it does not have information for earnings and PE ratio for the stocks, e.g., check out this 600064.SS Nanjing High Tech. I found Sina Finance does a better job. It has these information. You can check out the 600064 here (scroll down, check out 最新简况).  

One thing in common is they both offer real time price quote.

I got my first credit card, a Master card from Citi Bank, back in 1997 when I was a graduate student (and assistant) in Rolla. At that time I had part time job in school. I used the card to pay grocery, books (things I need to buy anyway), and I paid off the balance each month.
