Golly gee, what to pick from China for this week? Shucks, might as well try a new one, CNIT (China Information Technology) which should probably not do much of anything this week. Might have opportunity to get that last place again. Government business upon which they rely for key business trended down recently due to austerity measures. Will they loosen the purse strings anytime soon?

Well, UGI has gone down enough, so I am hoping it reverses it's direction. UGI, long. One more time. Funny, I did just read a buy recommendation on this.

I'm going to stick with AAPL long for this week. Earnings report is expected on the 24th and we haven't had much of a run-up going into the report. Maybe this week we will see a little upward movement.

Yes, CNIT is a laggart. They will have to get lucky in the next few months and rise above $1 or do a 1-3 (at least) reverse split to continue to be listed, or off to the Pink Sheets. These Chinese small caps are TERRIBLE. This continues to demonstrate the futility, and why widows and orphans should avoid them at all costs. Only fools go in where angels fear to tread. You know what that makes me. ;D I'm down here in Dante's Inferno somewhere, nothing but smoke and fire... hot as h-e-double toothpicks.

Sure have a strong grip on the last rung at the bottom of the ladder. ;D Now, need 26,149 investors to go out and buy 10,000 shares each of CNIT Create mayhem. LOL Once again, proof of the futility of these China small caps... going nowhere if not down.

Looked like some of you were playing musical chairs instead of sitting horseback! ;D Interesting week.
Congrats Clark!
