Five Most Attractive Stocks in Hang Seng Index

Those don't look too good to me. 0653 (Bonjour), for example, looks much better. Beauty products sold to mainland visitors in Hong Kong. Still has a lower PE ratio than all your picks but your utility. Been repurchasing shares; good and increasing dividend.

How to Trade the Rest of the Year - Goldman Sachs

They paid back the bailout money. And then made some for themselves. Use your brain and make some $ yourself. No need to be jealous.

Toyota is going to be overtaken by sitting on its laurels.

Great! I'd much rather have a Chinese company (like BYD) be on top of LithiumIon technology for cars.

Questioning Baidu's SEC Filings

You are right that they are mis-stating their mp3 traffic. But you are wrong that their stock will fall. They are in tight with the government.

China Is Pulling Ahead on the Environment

What is benevolent is the policy leading to the rise in living standards over the past 30 years. It's funny.. only people in the West care much about Tiananmen, Dali Lama, blah blah blah. The Chinese care about increasing income, doing well for their kids, and standard of living.

Our growth mostly comes from illegal, uneducated immigrants from Mexico.

The land is getting worse, fast, due to unsustainable practices. Talk to any farmer. Global warming will also have an effect.

We have lots of coal, but no oil. We do have lots of renewables, though.

We are losing our edge to competitors. The best scientists and engineers are skilled immigrants, but better opportunities are keeping them or are luring them back home. Domestic americans are not motivated enough to study hard sciences.

Basic education in Asia is leaps and bounds better than that in America. Where they are lacking is in higher education - and they are quickly closing there.

Millions here, but tens of millions elsewhere. America has become complacent with its high standard of living. Nationals of other countries (esp. Chinese) are striving much harder to succeed and that is going to be the difference in education, technology, innovation, and success. Effort is rewarded.
