This stock is controlled by a government that can change the rules in 30 seconds. I don't doubt the company will do well as time goes by but I am looking at the metrics of the company and could see it getting hammered for unauthorised down loading of videos and music. Could be a good candidate for Bear puts

It's so true. Being a Chinese myself, I know how the government can control this stock. Our poor little investors here will be ripped apart and die with no coffin or a hole to be burried. Well what's the use of advising them, let them enjoy the paper gain and cry later on this year.

Well. What you say is kind of true. But you forget that when you buy a stock not necessary means you have to hold on the stock for long term. You can buy well you know or think the stock will go up and sell when it go down, short it or sell when ever you want. However if you do that when you pay tax is a bit price-cy.But the point is that you can make money from stock like this. If you always lose money what is the point of investing any way?

anything can change in 30 seconds - that's something you don't have control. so you are better off looking at the charts to do your entries and exits. when you look at the charts you can choose your timeframe whether you want to do a long-term or short-term investment.
