Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s not on the web. But I found some deals at the local stores (Brentwood). Obviously it’s not just the online stores such as Zappos (or Amazon Endless) gives discount for shoes.  For instance this one ASICS GEL Kayano® XII Stability Running Shoe is $89.99 at SA. Amazon asks for $99.99 and  Zappos asks for $138.95.

Again quoted from the article: “There was a story on the front page of The Wall Street Journal about a group of little old ladies in the Midwest who soured on their boring

Reading Time: < 1 minute We all know it’s a fad. But here is the one million dollar question: when shall we take profit (or loss) for the Heelys stocks (HLYS)? From the IBD article today, it seems Heelys still got room to grow. The following is quoted from IBD: “For one thing, there’s still plenty of room to grow sales in parts

Reading Time: < 1 minute I noticed they usually offer some discount during Chinese New Year. Because by tradition majority of people will stay with families (at home). Here are some promotions: Jinjiang Inn Home Inns English reservation pages: Jinjiang Inn Motel 168 Surprisingly Rujia doesn’t have English for reservation, although I did see foreigners when I stayed there. I think telephone

Reading Time: < 1 minute I bought some Crocs stocks (CROX) a while ago; actually I looked at Under Armour (UA) at the same time and I am glad I made the correct decision (so far). Besides the difference of PE ratio, CROX is 42, UA is 76 (supposedly the lower PE means the price is cheaper). I made this decision more

Reading Time: < 1 minute I wrote about Chatea, a Chinese fast food company a while ago. I have been there in my China trip last year. Apparently they are expanding all these years and they just announced a new round of funding. GGV (together with IDGVC, SIG, Neil Shen, TECO and FMCG) invested $10.68 m for 20% stake.

The insiders will sell 9,827,220 shares and the underwriter will have option to buy additional 1,474,083 shares from selling share holders. That alone won’t have dilution effect.

The company recorded 108 million yuan in net profit in 2005, up 486 percent from the previous year. Huiyuan is seeking

Reading Time: < 1 minute I saw this when I was doing some research on Amazon (AMZN). They are giving away $5 for overnight shipping. This is very ineresting because normally the online merchants will do free shipping. But Amazon is always innovative. On serious note, I think Amazon is interesting because people usually think Google is the king of

Reading Time: < 1 minute Shoebuy is having a sale on Crocs, the $10 off discount code is WWMAG. They don’t have many left though, so hurry up if you want to get a pair. I found Crocs shoes are actually gender-neutral, as you can see from the size definition, e.g., size 4 stands for Women 6/Men 4. I think people choose the
