Reading Time: < 1 minute Crocs (Nasdaq:CROX) reported a solid quarter yesterday. It also raised its own year 2007 guidance, but the number is not enough to exceed the street’s “sky high” expectation. The stock already got crushed in the after hour and pre-market trading. It’s likely it will suffer for a while. But I think the fundamental of the
Reading Time: 2 minutes Before leaving I stayed at the Jinjiang Inn ι¦ζ±δΉζ near Zhongshan park, so I had an oppertunity to check out the current status of Jinjiang Inn. I stayed in Jinjiang Inn two years ago near Century park at Pudong. Overall I liked the setting, the furniture. It appears to me Jinjiang Inn is more luxurious
Reading Time: < 1 minute This morning when two stocks are traded at about same price, I sold remaining Starbucks (SBUX) , and got some more Longtop Financial (LFT).

As usual I saw more American than Chinese, besides business people and college students, we saw a little girl played ballet in Shanghai,
Reading Time: < 1 minute This time I am not travelling alone π I spent past 3 months here in Shanghai, plus a few months I spent early this year, this year marks the longest time I stayed in China since 1997. I enjoyed my time (for the most part) here. At the same time I learned a lot things:

Also he came to Dalian, to celebrate the opening of his first company in China (a metalworking tool plant). The plant is a part of IMG group, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathway. I would think IMG
Reading Time: < 1 minute Last night (Oct 24 10 PM, Shanghai time) I bought some Longtop (NYSE:LFT) shares at its IPO debut. I think this is more like “gold rush”, not something a rational investor would usually do. After I bought it at opening ($27), the stock gapped down as low as $23.25 (see the pattern here?). But it
