Wow, BIDU is trading at 40 times revenues and 171 times earnings. That ain't too good. They are trading at approximately 15 times assets, and that isn't that great either. And 38 times sales. Goodness, do people realize that this company is pretty mu...

I have heard the tall tales. "If you could just sell every Chinese person a Q-Tip you would be set for life". But markets don't work like that and neither do companies. This company is selling at a P/E of 100. If Jesus was running a company I bet ...

I almost put this in my CAPS list in August when I bought it in the real world. DOH!

I use statistics to evaluate reported revenues and then forecast future sales, net income and eps. My analysis indicates that BIDU remains very undervalue...

Let me see.... is China search a potentially big market? I think "yes." Does BIDU have a large share of that market? "Yes." Will the market continue to grow? "Yes." Could they be bought? "No." Could they be shut down? "Possible." Probabilit...

You can pick price to earnings, price to free cash flow, or even price to sales and you can't find a way to make the valuation on this business make any sense. And assuming you could, what's the long term competitive advantage here?

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...

I am joining with the party already in full swing. It took me a long time (the stock has doubled twice) to overcome my reticence to buy such an 'expensive' stock. I am a growth investor and should be used to paying for the first derivative, but a c...

Google has given up the fight for now. E-Bay has picked as search engine of choice. #1 internet search engine of China. Yes, it's pricey, but projected growth is outragous at 65 to 75% according to which anylysts you believe. I've invested speculativ...

A Chinese Google? Hard to beat. Initial "irrational exhuberance" for the stock got hammered out Jan/Feb 2006. Selling at a premium (foreward P/E 50+) but growth potential is obvious (revenue yoy 190%). Not a fly by night operation (1300 employees).
