  • SINA Is Worth Your Attention

    By Terry Chrisomalis - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: FB, RENN, SINA

    There is one Chinese company which I believe is worth buying as the market continues to edge to higher levels. The Chinese company that I believe will do well long term is SINA (NASDAQ: SINA). This company still has a long way to go to monetize its assets, so short term the trade is very risky. Although if you are a long term investor then this is a good position more »

  • Two Underdogs and a Hidden Gem from China

    By Leo Sun - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: DANG, RENN, YY | Editor's Choice

    When most American investors think of the Chinese Internet market, two names probably come to mind - Baidu, the “Google of China,” and Sina, the creator of Weibo, the “Twitter of China.” Yet there’s so much more to the Chinese Internet industry than these two names - there are multiple levels of social networking sites, online gaming companies and sprawling e-commerce giants vying for a profitable piece of the pie.

  • SINA Tempting Yet Dangerous!

    By Terry Chrisomalis - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, RENN, SINA

    Sina (NASDAQ: SINA) has been stagnant for over a year now, and the stock remains trading in a range between $50 and $70 a share. In my opinion, I think investors should avoid it as a long-term play. Don't get me wrong -- if you live in China, Sina's Twitter-like Weibo is a good service. But major problems lie behind this so-called "treasure platform."

  • SINA Should Be Avoided

    By Terry Chrisomalis - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, RENN, SINA

    Sina (NASDAQ: SINA) has been stagnant for over a year now, and the stock remains trading in a range between $50 and $70 a share. In my opinion, I think investors should avoid it as a long-term play. Don't get me wrong -- if you live in China, Sina's Twitter-like Weibo is a good service.

  • Can You Play These Social Media & Gaming Stocks for Profits?

    By Bill Edson - February 26, 2013 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, RENN, YELP, ZNGA

    Social media stocks are something of a conundrum. Many of them are expensive, and some of them have not demonstrated that they even have a chance of justifying their high valuations.

    Good News for Social Media Stocks

    Many of these stocks have reported positive events and financial results. For example, LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) reported fourth-quarter results above analysts’ estimates that surged to a record after increased membership. The company’s more »

  • I'm With Mark Zuckerberg, Are You?

    By Ron Chatterjee - December 19, 2012 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD, MEET, RENN, SINA, ZNGA

    If you ask me, I probably spend over a few hours on the social network website, but survey statistics say an average user spends around twenty minutes daily per visit on Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). That counts for something for a social networking company, don't you think?

    Since Facebook's filing for IPO on Feb. 1, 2012, the company has been through a lot of speculation, and needless to say more »

  • With Another Lockup Past, Is Facebook A Buy?

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - November 21, 2012 | Tickers: FB, GOOG, LNKD, RENN, ZNGA

    Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) bears were licking their chops as a crucial lockup period expired in mid-November. Surely Facebook insiders, having seen the stock fall about 50% since the IPO, would take advantage of the ability to cash out more of their shares and put strong downward pressure on the stock.

    Then that didn’t happen. In fact, Facebook is up 11% so far in November, with a stock price nearing more »

  • Cheery Consensus for This Social Networking Site

    By Anh HOANG - October 24, 2012 | Tickers: FB, LNKD, RENN, YELP | Editor's Choice

    Today one global phenomenon, which is mentioned over and over again, is Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). At the beginning of the month, Facebook has hit the milestone of 1 billion active users. It now has the third largest population in the world, only after China and India. The number of users on Facebook is 3 times higher than US population. People use Facebook to share pictures, feelings, and events to relatives more »

  • Facebook Theme Song: Wake Me Up When September Ends

    By Kyle Metivier - September 5, 2012 | Tickers: FB, NFLX, RENN

    “I don’t want the cheese, I just want to get out of the trap.” – Spanish Proverb

    After reading the news that Dennis Gartman has exited stocks completely (a mere month after exalting that it was time to get into banks; I assume to rob them), I am seriously considering cashing in everything and purchasing thousands of Powerball tickets. It makes perfect sense, what with the pundits predicting the upcoming more »

  • Chinese Internets: Sherpa Needed

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - July 18, 2012 | Tickers: BIDU, RENN, SINA, SOHU, YOKU

    Investing in Chinese internet stocks has never been harder as convoluted partnerships, mergers, accounting scandals in other Chinese stock sectors, government crackdowns on content and a slowing Chinese economy have made what was already a difficult space to navigate like walking through a maze of towering bamboo. What you need is an intrepid guide to give you an overview.

  • Playing Chinese Internet Gaming Companies

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - May 9, 2012 | Tickers: CYOU, RENN, GAME, SOHU

    Seemingly every Chinese internet company wants a piece of the lucrative online gaming market, which is characterized by the popularity of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) and adventure classic gaming (ACG) games. Tencent (HKG: 0700) occupies the top five positions in the Credit Suisse Game League Table with Cross Fire at the top, but given that it trades on the Hong Kong exchange, we elect to analyze four online more »

  • Baidu: Is Now the Best Time to Get In?

    By Maxwell Fisher - April 26, 2012 | Tickers: BIDU, CMGE, CHA, GOOG, RENN

    Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), China's largest internet search engine, is often thought of as the East's version of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Fair or not, with this sort of analogy comes expectations. Baidu came through with an outstanding earnings report, but butting up against absurdly optimistic current and future expectations, Baidu stock was hammered.

    In its first quarter of 2012, Baidu posted earnings of $299 million $0.87 per share more »

  • Renren Posts a Profit in a Sea of Competition

    By Chris Moore - March 10, 2012 | Tickers: BIDU, RENN, SINA, SOHU

    Chinese companies, particularly the Internet sector, are a complex assortment of offerings, many of which have been given monikers like “the Facebook of China” in an effort to explain their business models. Renren Inc. (NYSE: RENN), which often sports the Facebook of China moniker, posted its earnings yesterday, swinging to a profit and revealing a bullish forecast for the coming year. In light of its swing to profit, is Renren more »

  • Big Wave Trading Portfolio Update And Top Current Holdings

    By Joshua Hayes - March 3, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, IRE, FIO, LHCG, MA, KORS, QCOR, RF, RENN

    The Big Wave Trading market model switched from a BUY signal to a NEUTRAL signal following Wednesday’s stock market session. The switch from the BUY signal which was triggered on 1/5 to a NEUTRAL signal on 2/29 was caused by a few key factors this past week. 1. New longs have not moved higher immediately leaving most with full cut losses. 2. Current holdings are giving off more »

    By Joshua Hayes - February 25, 2012 | Tickers: VNET, CRMT, IRE, FFN, LCAV, KORS, MOTR, RF, RENN, TNGO

    The Big Wave Trading margin and retirement accounts remain fully invested. There have been two distribution days in the Nasdaq in the past week but the selling has been orderly. While we remain cautious on new positions with the market in a non-stop uptrend, we continue to ride the trend higher. We do not know if the market will or will not pullback. We can only prepare for both outcomes more »

  • Big Wave Trading Portfolio Update/Top Current Holdings

    By Joshua Hayes - February 20, 2012 | Tickers: CRMT, IRE, DVR, JKS, MOTR, RF, RENN

    The Big Wave Trading Market Model remains under a full BUY signal. This buy signal was signaled on 1/5/2012 and has not had a change since. The distribution day had zero effect on the model and thus being fully invested on the long side continues to be the mode of operation. Big Wave Trading will continue to ride its winners higher while selling off any new long that more »

  • 4 Tech Stocks that Could Tumble this Year

    By Christopher French - February 6, 2012 | Tickers: HPQ, RENN, SIRI, YOKU

    During the last several months analysts have become increasingly optimistic on the economy. Financial commentator Benjamin Shepard, for example, wrote, “I believe now is the time for investors to add risk to their portfolios by emphasizing more cyclical corners of the market.”

    For the technology sector these kinds of views could be a sign that this industry is about to turn around. While some firms like Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) and more »
