Note the company recently formed alliance with some major home builders in China (read the news from CNNMoney). Now they are asking more money from the market, the shareholders (old or new).
Reading Time: 2 minutes at this time. I was excited about shorting EDU or APPL (buying puts) after Tuesday’s MacWorld keynote and New Oriental disappointing earning news.

Reading Time: 2 minutes I decided to buy some China Mobile shares, after did some reading in the weekend. Today’s news is China Mobile walked away from Apple regarding iPhone, cool.
