Will go back to China with TPI (Long) for this week. Tianyin Pharmaceuticals (U.S. listed small cap RTO with ops within China). WARNING: Extremely high risk (subject to whims of government regulations, limiting pricing and net profit). Not for widows and orphans, or anyone faint of heart and unwilling to "roll the dice". Even I quiver in fear of the skeleton in the closet and ogres hiding under the bed ready to haunt at any moment.  |

Hi guys! I'm sneaking in here on Sun.
SZYM, long....trying again, they seemed to be on a roll last week, let's see if it continues.
BTW, sold my OPK in real life last week, doubled my money!   I like those kind of investments...a shame I hadn't bought more but at least I made a little! |

So......I start out in the hole against eveyone else  This baby will have to really fly the rest of the week, and I did not see more than a 4 to 5 percent rise for the week from Friday's close. |

Last place for me....shows just how smart I am.....besides that I bought some ASTX just 17 minutes after the opening; but a good price ($4.24)....probably should have bought better oats.
