Chinese stocks have been performing so well recently that spent this past week looking for a really good Chinese stock to consider.  We all saw soaring stock prices after earnings for Chinese Internet listings like for Ctrip (CTRP), Baidu (BIDU) and The9 (NCTY) but that's not what I'm going to write about today. Instead, after doing a bit more research I found some really good content on BullPoo.com, Reuters and TheStreet.com and what I found uncovered was Brilliance China Automotive Hold...

Referring to my earlier blog on our view towards the DNDN, I am suprised that the FDA's decision came earlier than the deadline of May 15, but of course, not surprised at all with their decision. I am not to say that DNDN is a bad stock to invest in, in fact, I would suggest investors keep a close eye on this one for opportunities to get back in. A deja-vu to their spike won't be impossible.Just a short few hours ago, FDA gave a so-called "approvable" letter to Dendreon Corp. requesting for mo...

13,318 was the close for the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index yesterday. Just less than two weeks ago (Apr. 25) the Dow hit 13,000 for the first time in its history. Less than six months from that date,the Dow reached the 12,000 milestone for the first time (Oct. 19). Is it just me, or does anyone else share the butterflies in my stomach? I'm getting a little scared about how fast the market has been moving. A rise of more than 2,000 points in just over six months is wonderful news, but it's...

Perhaps one of the fastest stocks being shorted this past week and this coming week will be the one and only Dendreon Corporation (DNDN). That's right, this was the one that soared a few hundred percent a few weeks back as FDA advisors recommended the approval of their prostate cancer drug. You see how I emphasized 'recommended'? That's because the actual FDA regulators haven't actually given the final approval. And now there have been plenty of signs pointing to the possibility that they'll g...

Here we go again, I suppose corporate giants just can seem to surprise anyone anymore.  Their share prices have been barely able to break through the $100 mark.  Their quarterly results fell right into its expected pattern, profitability increased to what was expected.  But still, their share prices are in the blues. First-quarter earnings rose 8% and investors kicked their stocks down after hours, because of worries about IBM's poor home market and business and its decline...
