Reading Time: < 1 minute If you read my blog for a while, you know I am a fan of Warren Buffett. Not just because he is the second richest man in the world; it has more to do with his investment philosophy and the way he lives his life. Last night CNBC’s had an one hour show in which the reporter

Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s not news any more. There are many discussions on the Yahoo message board.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Home Inns (HMIN) and Mindray (MR) both reported their Q3 earning last week. I listened to both the conference calls. HMIN obviously did better with revenue growth: RMB 160.4 m, 106.3% year over year growth. Mindray’s revenue growth was 21.6% because of the anti-corruption campaign in Chinese hospitals.

Reading Time: 2 minutes I sold the remaing Symantec (SYMC) stocks today and I bought an old stock for me: the Ninetown Digital (NINE, recently changed name to Ninetown Internet).

Reading Time: 2 minutes Next Microsoft. Next Bill Gates. Next Google. Next… We all want to get the hold of “next big thing” before it becomes real, don’t we? Think about this, the stock of Cisco, the networking and communication company, increased 73 times from 1990 to 2000 in 10 years. The Microsoft stock’s performance was similar.  From time to time, when a

Reading Time: < 1 minute I could not find the offical date for the IPO date. The only thing official is it will debut this week. Since now it’s 12:50 PM Eastern Time, I don’t think it will go out today. That means we only have 2 days left. Sohu has an aritlcle which did mention it will go on Oct 26
