    Gaming the Recession [view article]
    One thing left out by the author is the investment required in order to play video games, the hardware. In order to enjoy those best "bang for your buck" console games, you have to go out and buy a Xbox ($199), Wii ($250), or a PS3 ($399). I could also add in the cost for purchasing a regular TV or an HDTV.

    As for a PC, if its a new game it will probably require you to have a computer that isn't 4 years old. That could cost an individual around $800 to play any new game.

    On the whole though, I agree that video games do provide a cheaper alternative to most forms of entertainment after the initial investments have been made.

    Overview of the Chinese Internet Market [view article]
    My naive view is that any investment in China is more than average risky because the totalitarian government can make any equity worthless because it doesn't suit their objectives. In this case, although I think there is great value, I will not invest in it because of the FALSE free market environment they try to project but interfere whenever they think it's OK. It might turn out to have been a good short term investment, but I don't think this kind of government manipulation is good for anyone in the intermediate/long run and that's my objective.

    Another factor to take into account is online video game rentals from Gamefly. If you use Gamefly you're playing unlimited games for pennies on the dollar (works just like netflix). In addition, they offer trade-in credits for games, try before you buy options, steep discounts on pre-played games, free shipping and a myriad of member benefits... all from the comfort of your own home. And they cover every console available with some 5000+games and distribution centers across the country. Reply

    I don't think you should shrug off TV as an non-effective entertainment option. Granted, there are a lot of bad shows out there, but there are also many good ones. In fact, I think I enjoy watching an NFL game on TV vs. going to one in person. No ticket necessary, no traffic, no crowds, no lines, no overpriced beer/food, and always indoors.

    Otherwise I enjoyed the article. Video gaming is still one of the cheapest recession-resistant forms of entertainment out there.

    You mention only one trip needed to buy your video game. Not even necessarily that much with ordering online via any number of resources such as Gamestop, EBAY, BBY, etc. GME also an excellent play here since they sell everything VG related so all of your bases are covered. Not to mention the used business which is great in hard times to trade in or buy less expensive used games. Reply

    China ADRs: Mixed July [view article]
    I should have mentioned JASO which also reports this week. It was recently given a new buy recommendation. Also SOL has steadily moved up from a 2 star CAPS rating to a 5 star CAPS rating. It should do well. Reply

    China ADRs: Mixed July [view article]
    Both LDK and CSIQ report earnings this week (8/11/08-8/15/08). Other solar stocks report the next week such as SOL, STP, and TSL (perhaps others also). After the big down movement recently, I think we can expect an up movement over the next couple of weeks from these stocks. Virtually all should report great earnings. Hopefully LDK will report some positive guidance about their polysilicone plant also. The ones will great multiples seem likely to move up substanitally. This would include LDK, SOL, CSIQ, and TSL. LDK's movement will likely be dependent on its margins and its guidance about the two polysilicone plants it is building. The others should all move up on great results. The highest rated ones should move up more easily. The average analyst ratings for the latter three stocks are: SOL (1.8), CSIQ (2.0), and TSL (2.3). The FPE's are: SOL (6.88), CSIQ (7.40), and TSL (6.23). It looks like there is likely some room for these stocks to move up. They all have low PEG ratios, especially when compared to FSLR (which has moved down after its great earnings). FSLR's PEG ratio is currently 1.29. FSLR's FPE is 37.54 (even after the great earnings). The PEG ratios of the others are: LDK (.34), SOL (.26), CSIQ (.39), and TSL(.28). I think you can see where these other solar stocks may behave differently than FSLR at this point in time. Of course, there is still the possible headwind of oil prices continuing to go down. Reply
