Reading Time: < 1 minute The first quarter is behind us. Just like a public company reporting quarterly results and holding conference call, I am going to do a quick review of my little portfolio. This quarter is a quite rollercoaster for me, as it did for many investors. The Jan and Feb started fairly strong and at one time I
Reading Time: < 1 minute Well, Xinhua Finance Media Limited XFML IPO nearly broke my heart, kind as I expected. The good thing is WR Hambrecht only allocated me 100 shares, out of 200 shares I indicated to buy. On a positive note, Mindray reported a good quarter and a good year. Here is the results.

Separately, the company filed S1 form for stock options registration. That will dilute the
