yup, but with COs like Lockhead, not much volatility for them, small cap companys offer biggest grow explosions but u are more liable to loose, my portfolio started with 50k and i had it for over a year probally 1 and a halfish, i got it to my current 167k because i trade small caps when the market is nicer, and i hold onto my large cos which is basically most of my current portfolio when i dont like the current situation. look the past week closing low, not good.. we had that surge of record close at the start of the year, thats when i pulled out of my small caps but ur right , currently its a long term portofilio but nuttin work with a little ETF luvving :):tongue1:

China Stocks Close at Record High
Associated Press 02.26.07, 6:18 AM ET

Chinese shares closed at a fresh record high Monday, the first day of trading in following a weeklong Lunar New Year holiday, as metals companies surged on stronger metals prices.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.4 percent to 3,040.60, extending a spate of record high closes. The Shenzhen Composite Index rose 2.4 percent to 776.12.

Banks declined after China's central bank raised the reserve requirement ratio for commercial lenders to 10 percent from 9.5 percent, effective Sunday, in an attempt to slow lending growth.

China Merchants Bank slid 5.6 percent to 16.85 yuan, China Minsheng Banking fell 4.1 percent to 12.63 yuan and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank lost 4.8 percent to 24.26 yuan.

The hike in the reserve requirement means banks will have less money to lend to their clients, but its impact will be limited, analysts said.

But they said sentiment remained positive at the start of what is, by the Chinese zodiac calendar, the "Year of the Golden Pig."

"Market liquidity remains ample despite the reserve ratio hike and citizens will likely keep moving their deposits into the stock market," said Zhu Haibin, an analyst at Everbright Securities.

Metals companies surged on recent gains in global metal prices, with Jiangxi Copper hitting the 10 percent upside limit at 17.67 yuan and Zhongjin Gold rising 5.1 percent to 34.64 yuan.

Baoshan Iron & Steel jumped 8 percent to 10.03 yuan after the Economic Observer reported during the holiday that its parent Shanghai Baosteel Group Corp. is planning a roadshow in April for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.

In currency dealings, the U.S. dollar was at 7.7460 yuan on the over-the-counter market around 0730 GMT, up from a close of 7.7426 yuan on Feb. 16, the last trading day before the Lunar New Year holidays.

i see NEOL going down another 5-8% tomorrow...until next week i don't see any room for growth...should be steady from there at around 1.95 or so...next week probably go up to about 11%...so this would be a good time to buy...

NEOL is almost like FORG...FORG has gone down since friday afternoon...but i think it should build back up..i say FORG is gonna go up about 14% by friday...tomorrow should be another drop..but wednesday, thursday and friday will be going up up up

damn another day the markets still plunge..

She's coming back. It took a big dive just recently, but as of right now, she is coming back around. Don't worry about this, guys. The market hadn't had a 2% correction in the past 5 years, so we were MORE than due.

China Reportedly Halts Overseas IPOs By State-Owned Enterprises
Vivian Wai-yin Kwok, 02.27.07, 3:29 PM ET

HONG KONG - With Chinese authorities reportedly holding state-owned enterprises back from listing shares overseas and in Hong Kong, at least 12 private Chinese companies are lining up to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, taking advantage of the demand for public offerings of mainland businesses.

State-owned enterprises that have applied to list overseas are being redirected by the Chinese government to float shares on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges, according to the Chinese-language Hong Kong Economic Times, with the aim of boosting the supply of equities so as to cool down the country’s overheating markets .

The China Securities Regulatory Commission hasn’t approved any state-owned enterprises’ applications to list overseas since September, the Economic Times said, without naming sources.

Investment bankers said that only a few state-owned enterprises that had obtained permission before September, such as Citic Bank, will list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the first half of 2007.

Initial public offerings of state-owned assets, including the record-breaking $22 billion debut of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, provided a shot in the arm to the Hong Kong stock market last year. Lacking such mega-sized floatations this year, Hong Kong investors have turned to betting on private mainland businesses.

Shares in China Huiyuan Juice, which came public last week, surged 80% in two trading days this week. At least 12 more private mainland businesses are queuing up to sell shares to Hong Kong investors in the coming months, with offerings ranging from HK$2 billion to HK$8 billion. The total is expected to be worth HK$38.7 billion ($5 billion).

The 12 include footwear chain Belle, real estate developer Biguiyuan, dairy products maker Xinjiang Gold Cattle Bio and sportswear maker Anta Group

looking like its gonna be a bad week this whole week...after looking at all aspects...
good stocks right now would be financial stocks...

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Shanghai stocks struggled into positive territory in late- morning trading Wednesday, breaking away from a regional sell-off as Asian benchmarks fell for a second straight session, extending the dramatic decline that rippled around the world after starting in Shanghai on Tuesday.
Shanghai's Composite Index gained 0.2% to 2,775.660 in mid-morning trading Wednesday, reversing a negative performance in the first hour of trading.
The Shanghai index, which tracks shares listed on the bigger of China's two stock markets, fell 8.8% Tuesday, triggering a global sell-off that led to the biggest one-day losses in the U.S., the world's largest stock market and economy, since the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The decline in Shanghai Tuesday was the biggest single-point drop for the benchmark index in a decade and followed concerns that the government may introduce additional macro-economic tightening measures to cool speculative activity. The Shanghai benchmark ended at an all-time high Monday.
In Tokyo, Japan's Nikkei 225 Index ended the morning session 3.6% lower at 17,475.07, as investors cut positions in blue-chips ranging from Sony Corp. (SNE : sony corp adr new

IMOT:
Nanhai District Enterprise Growth Investment Trust Fund to be Established to Foster China SME Development
Wednesday February 28, 9:35 am ET


SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The Intermost Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IMOT - News), a leading electronic online equity exchange service provider in China, announces news from the Shenzhen International Hi-Tech Property Rights Exchange Center ("Shenzhen Exchange") that the "Nanhai District Enterprise Growth Investment Trust Fund" will be established in the first quarter of 2007. The fund caters to local innovative enterprises that cannot meet with the listing requirements on the Small and Medium Enterprise Board. As an important shareholder of the Shenzhen Exchange, the Intermost Corporation will closely collaborate with the new establishment.


It is reported that the Shenzhen Exchange has entered into agreements with several trust companies in Shenzhen on establishing the "Nanhai District Enterprise Growth Investment Trust Fund". The fund plans to last for three to four years, with governmental subsidies of approximately 50 million RMB to 100 million RMB. It prioritizes companies that have entered the program of "Growth Road Map of Innovative Enterprises".

According to the stipulations of this program, each innovative enterprise will be subsidized with 100,000 RMB to 1,000,000 RMB in the process of shareholding reform, depository, pre-listing consultancy, and listing. Companies that go public receive subsidies as high as 3.1 million RMB. In 2006, fifty-eight enterprises entered the program, of which thirty-eight gained subsidies of 20.5 million RMB.

Both industrial investment funds and venture investment funds are private equity funds targeting non-listed equities. Hi-tech venture investment funds target industries like IT, biochemistry, communications, and medical care. The China economy is calling for more venture investment funds.

The Shenzhen Exchange is the only hi-tech equity exchange in China authorized a name of "China" and "International". It is also one of the best performing exchanges. In 2006, its total trading volume achieved RMB 45.8 billion, increased by 40% compared to the previous year. Both revenue and profit renewed the records. The Intermost Corporation owns a 15% share in the Shenzhen Exchange. Its acting CEO Mr. Xiangxiong Deng is also the Vice- Chairman of the Shenzhen Exchange.
