Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s the so called “golden week” here, it’s also my first time spending the golden week in China (we did not have this kind of long holidays back in middle 1990s). I will spend some time with my family and friends. No more stocks. No more computers (if I can accomplish that), and I can
Reading Time: 2 minutes This is a too big question. But I have thought this thing for quite a while, and want to share my thoughts. A few weeks ago I was watching the “Boss Town” program at China-CBN, the host posed this exact question to the founder of Qiao Xing (Nasdaq: XING), Mr. Wu Ruiling: why do you go
Reading Time: 2 minutes (Update Apr 30) I went to Carrefour to buy Maotai, it’s out. I noticed Maotai has some low end products now (Maotai Chun instead of Guizhou Maotai). The Shanghai No. 1 Food Store across the street does carry Mao Tai, but it charges for 525 Yuan (Carrefour price was 438). According to Carrefour associates, the Maotai was out for couple
Reading Time: < 1 minute After I read its prospectus, I decide not to pursue its open IPO. Another reason is I just bought some HMIN and MR: I want to limit the number of stocks I hold. IB is a great business. I heard its name first from a friend who recommend it for its low cost and high speed in

Reading Time: < 1 minute Like Baidu, if you look at 601998 (its ticker symbol) at Sina Finance. For english readers, read Bloomberg news here. BTW, 1998 is a good number in Chinese.

Reading Time: < 1 minute I read a paper lately and found people in big cities like Shanghai spend a fortune in wedding (about same amount as people in developed countries). Here are some examples: limos and wedding dresses. I took these pictures last month.
Reading Time: < 1 minute (Update Apr 26 morning) Shortly after this report, Wan Jia Wan Hao (Xin Yu Star) stock (600576) gained 5%, the maximum percentage it can go as this is a “ST” stock. What can I say about this crazy market? Dong Fang Securities, a Chinese brokerage firm, did a report about the new trend of Chinese consumers.
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’m not picking on the China Construction Bank, this is a problem existing in all the banks.
