Wow I didnt expect their stocks to move so much today. I dont see any news, but you guys think theres some big news coming, or just another pump and dump?

I am some 12,000 miles from China and the same for my portfolio.
Plenty of quality USA stocks to invest in.
Stay away from penny stocks.
No news is not always good news.
I think you answered your own question.

I'd be more inclined to look into Japanese infrastructure in the aftermath of the quake.

Advice taken. Im looking into infrastructure stocks that actually own physical properties, not construction firms or equipment makers. CIIC owns a toll rd so I thought i might look into them, but I guess maybe when they get out of penny stock territory. Would you guys have any recommendations?

I think you may be overlooking one thing. Infrastructure requires equipment. The worlds largest is Caterpillar (CAT) and the price looks like it may have bottomed around $80 after coming off $110ish.
Wherever you find infrastructure being built, you will usually find CAT.

TJ's on my page.

Put the words "China" and "penny stock" together and you can count me out.

On infrastructure, Japan is a sure thing for at least the next few years, worth the research to find who contracts there.

I stay away from Chinese stocks, too much cooking of the books.

Wow I figured their stocks were cheap so i bought some since i figured if i lose, at least I'm not losing much.... BUT DAMN!!!!! Their price has jumped and i tripled in value so far. I'm thinking if i should hold until $1.00 or sell while its in the 0.80 range.

NYC, nice hit.

Do yourself a favor, pull a chart and look back to December '09.

You've tripled your money in 5 days and you're debating if you should hold or sell?  Do you also have a snot, curly tail, and enjoy rolling in the mud?  Do your self a favor and sell at least some of your shares and play with the houses money if you're not going to get out completely.  Just my opinion though...

LoL its like sex. Its feels so good to be in, that you dont wanna pull out until its a bust... Haha yea i made my cash, im probably gonna get out while its good. Thx guys

Wow the news just came out for CIIC, and the board agreed to share buybacks. Should I try to jump back in before it soars?

Posted by NYCNewbTrader on September 01, 2011 (10:36AM)


AHHHHHH!!!! LoL dammit why did I sell!!!!! Oh well I still made out on a profit.

Well, the suggestion was to sell some, not all.
It's not your fault you do not have insiders info.
Penny stocks, especially chinese, rise and fall fast.

Posted by Obama Bin'Laden on September 01, 2011 (01:46PM)

lol, and its dropped 10% since that post. see what I mean?
look for your next trade, be happy you won on that one.

Posted by NYCNewbTrader on September 01, 2011 (02:33PM)


Hehe yea, I had my fun with CIIC. Intresting company to watch tho. I guess I would have had more faith in them if the global economy wasnt what it is at the moment, and chinese companies were more transparent. In the meantime imma go get me some cheap euro stocks.
