Will continue the China challenge with the few stocks still in the port. Perhaps the worst is over for one or two. So on we go.....
Go with TPI (long).
Tianyin Pharmaceutical... very high risk, but a US owned company with operations in China (not a RTO). Small player with high hopes for the future (ha ha). Well, at least they are operational.

long TESS (TESSCO Technologies - Communications Equipment) This is the same stock I picked last week. The price ratios look good but I would like to see the Quick Ratio and Current Ratio higher. The dividend yield is 4.34% and the cash per share is $1.73 on a stock that closed at $13.82. I am not a chartist but there is a wedge pattern and I believe the stock will break out one way or the other very soon. www.finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=tess |

kadee66, please confirm or verify what I'm posting...  o.k.? Yahoo finance tells me that KNOT is no longer valid. Symbol is XOXO, ( for XO Group, Inc.). |

BHB,........you're right...you can't walk a very rested horse up to the track, when our nags are tired and
exhausted....and fat on carrots, from racing 2 days. But get a selection in by 8:30am (Tex.time) Mon. on the thread that Rovo will probably start very soon after this week's race is in the record books.

Egads .... looks like I should have bought a few K last Friday. Oh well, no guts, no glory. Darn thing was so cheap it was due for a little jump. The question is, is TPI capable of getting to a dollar and staying there as we hit the ides of February? Will they get full certification and high tech tax status granted by the Chinese government... if so, they should double from here; if not, toast. |

BHB,....you certainly have a good memory. The old Lotus123 spreadsheet was wonderful. A friend gave away one of my computers that had dos & the Lotus. I still miss it; but excel is more sophiscated.
The last couple of weeks, I've been going round and round with AT&T just trying to get a simple
connection solved. It's been very hectic. I put in a new land line, & was promised DSL in 2 days. It
took 7 days...& 3 of those, I had to hire a friend that used to own the Internet serv. in this town. We were within hours of shucking AT&T totally., for another service. Good to have you here. MEMORIES.

This just cannot be.... TPI still holding and only one more day to go. It was just an innocent stab a one of my remaining stocks in the China Experiment. Guess it was just too cheap when it hit .61, and now I am regretting not stepping up to the plate.  Oh how fickle these stocks can be. Something told me it was worth a gamble, but that's the way the old cookie crumbles. But, then again, the worm may turn and we could see an even lower trend in the next week. Very High Risk. |

Well, it looks like I'm going to have the "honors" this week! rovo, I'm sorry. I didn't realize there was going to be a ticker change on that one. It was KNOT when I looked at it before I selected it for this week...at least it came up....I wasn't really paying attention to whether or not there was a change. I promise to pay better attention next time I get a wild hair!  |

Well, the bottom fisher was merely lucky this week. This was a surprise... guess when even the most dangerous stocks get cheap enough a few daring players roll the dice. I just do not believe the China Experiment will ever do great, will be very lucky indeed to break even in the next 3 years. Just held on to 5 stocks and most lost almost 90% of value before leveling off. Just plain stubborn it seems. Not adding, just will ride them out with a 3 year horizon of breaking even or a small profit (if a recovery sets in). It's a fool's long term gamble. Hmmm, I should survive so long? Just want the tombstone to read: "At least the fool broke even". If I had only followed the excellent advice of the "Long Term Investor" thread, over the last 40 years.... but then, what in the world would I do with all that money ($M) and streaming dividend money, holding all those premiere stocks? Hmmmm.  |

o.k.? Yahoo finance tells me that KNOT is no longer valid. Symbol is XOXO, ( for XO Group, Inc.). 
, ModE pushes his nag into the lead.
Oh how fickle these stocks can be.
