CEO David McJannet Confounder Armon Dadgar I assume cofounder Mitchell Hashimoto has a shell company and didn’t use his own name for the shares he traded. I didn’t dig into it: it’s not something that I feel it’s productive

If you feel your comments have been mistakenly treated as “spam”, shoot me an email and I will manually revert it. I will also check it regularly to make sure legimate comments don’t get treated as
Reading Time: < 1 minute Today I went to Post Office to mail something. I noticed there are lots of people, which is not unusual, because people want to get things done in the weekend. What surprised me a bit is there are many people applying for the Passports. This also makes sense to me because recently the goverment issues
Reading Time: 3 minutes Revisions (July 9, 2008) Buy and hold will not work in this market. What I found interesting lately, is buy a fundmentally good (valuation attractive) stock at low (when the market hold a selloff, when everyone is panic), and then sell some when the market recovers and everyone is excited again. This way we will

Actually from my own experience at four Home Inns in Shanghai I have both praises and complaints. So every coin has two sides.

Reading Time: < 1 minute I summerized its year 2005 and 2006 (low end) number here. I noted that the revenue year over year growth slowed a bit (consider first 9 months growth about 41%). This can be attribute to the continuing “anti-corruption” campaign in China hospitals. 2005 2006 YoY Rev (CNY) 1,078,573,000 1,470,000,000 36.29% Income 205,089,000 360,000,000 75.53% Earning (CNY) 2.40 3.73 55.42%
Reading Time: < 1 minute I don’t know why the stock went down this morning after a good earning report. Anyway guessing stock price’s daily fluctuation is not my job.
