RBCN giving me some problems and should have taken GU but still like the chances here. VISN looks great as do the solars.

Mary, I certainly would have stayed away from Chinese stocks towards the end of last year and haven’t touched any of them for months now. The correction was long overdue and anyone caught in it would have lost a fortune. After correcting 50% since mid October, I’m beginning to like some of the best China companies again. I’m not calling a bottom just yet because china is still in a downtrend but over the next 6 months I think they will outperform. Please be advised I’m not recommending these stocks.. all should be researched invidually.

Thanks for all of your advice regarding stocks and the 15 IPO’s that you think will beat out Visa. Now that I think about it more, you may be right if you are just setting the time to 6 months. However, I think in the long run, like 1 – 2 years, Visa will do much better than these Chinese IPO’s. China’s inflation rate has been so high and I heard it is affecting the economy negatively because the prices of food and household goods have gone up so much. I have only been in the stock market game since August, but I talk about it quite a bit with friends at work who have many years of experience. Most of them say to stay away from the Chinese stocks, and like I said in my previous posting, I have lost money on every single Chinese IPO so far. No more Chinese stocks for me. I changed my price for Visa to $60 now. I hope to grab it this next week. I also like the fact that Visa will pay a dividend. None of the Chinese IPO’s I had paid any kind of dividend.

Are you throwing your hat into the steak dinner ring Mary? Remember that most IPO’s take a beating during a market correction.. in fact most growth stocks do. When the market starts turning south you want to jump off of the IPO profit train. However, when the market begins to turn around IPO’s produce big time gains. Most of the IPO’s in that list are still growing rapidly and when they turn, they will turn big. I particularly like STV down here but it is a risk until it breaks the downtrend. The bottom line is that these stocks are unloved and forgotten about because many probably lost money on them fearful of getting back in. That’s the fear factor! .. which creates the setup for a new base and a new run.

I agree that there is alot of hype surrounding the Visa IPO, but I don’t agree that STV, SOL, LDK, and your other picks will beat out Visa. I have already owned and lost money on STV, SOL, and LDK. A friend of mine did make money on LDK, but it has really gone down in price compared to a few months ago. STV has really plunged too. I remember when it came as an IPO in October. It shot up quickly the first few days and that was when the money could have been made. I do not like any Chinese stocks, because I have lost money on every single one that I have owned. I do agree with your advice to stay away from GU. I also owned that one and took a loss on it. I haven’t yet grabbed Visa because I am hoping it will come down to around $50. However, I feel Visa will do well. We’ll see in 6 months.
