Don't know what's going on with it, but I'll just stick with TPI (long) for another week.  Suspect there will be a lot of profit taking by traders after last week, so stock may end down, but will take the long chance anyway.  These China-based stocks are very volatile.

Probably made the bottom today, TPI down 4 cents at close.  Guessed there would be profit taking this week after the run up last week.  And, so it goes.

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 continues to lead with his double digit performance. The benchmark is second and Disinfranched Investor is third. The rest of the field has a negative return.

Way to go uncle, keep on running hard.

[uncle23]

.....

2 more laps to go......need to recharge one more time...........

TPI could hit 1.10 by friday

[ModE98]

"TPI could hit 1.10 by Friday"

Uncle, that would be nice; but, seems unlikely to me...no news to generate stock demand.  It would be a good number to see tomorrow (nice thought anyway).

They need a few new products approved and also begin overseas distribution of a few key drugs.  Have to improve income and profits, there are strict limits to China homeland drug price levels.

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 extends his lead with one day to go. The benchmark is still second and Disinfranchised Investor is third.
