here's what i posted on 10-11-07 01:41 PM: i forgot to mention that the safest china play is yhoo. read up on alibaba to find out why. http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104149&perpage=6&pagenumber=7 this is when yhoo was much lower....my posts about yhoo's long-term potential were ignored and poopooed by ETers. ET continues to be one of the best contrarian indicator out there! THANK YOU, ET.
B2B... hmm reminds me of the late 90's... anyone remember ARBA or CMRC what about the B2B etf BHH... :eek:
Alibaba will also trade on under albaf.pk However, it will not be available to Americans for 40 days (Dec 17).
Why not just get trading permission to trade the HK market( it is free) and buy Alibaba directly. It is only $3-4 USD now and will probably go up if it someday gets listed on the Nasdaq?
