BIDU Trade Update : http://www.optionmillionaires.com/baidu-bidu-trade/
$BIDU continues to look susceptible - Added some Puts this morning ~ $230 in cards
Pending a last second stick save, $BIDU will have closed down every day this week ~~~ Someone needs to push the handle and clean it out
$BIDU continues to show weakness ~ $238.25 is key breakdown area -
$BIDU - Win Trade
Just closed 210-200 put spreads for $170 income and 85% profit on the income.
BIDU is a monster. one would expect a little consolidation but bam, keeps setting new all time highs. Incredibly, BIDU is still sporting a PEG ratio of 1. So on a relative basis, still pretty cheap.
Looking very very solid here....especially mobile growth. Keeps making new 52 week highs.
Here's my trade -
After closing the spread for a great income, the numbers show an option to do another one with small risk.
Sell 10 $BIDU 210-200 Nov14 Put Spreads for $200 premium.
Sounds good buddy :)
Feel free to follow me on twitter for live trades on all kinds of stocks.
@selling_options
I just held. All peachy.
Here is my trade for a lovely 13% edge on Implied Volatility.
Sell 3 $BIDU 200-190 Nov14 Put Spreads for $249 premium.
If BIDU goes down by up to 13% we are making a lovely premium.
I personally think it will go up but just in case I took 13% downside insurance.
You welcome to follow and copy this guys and girls.

Wow...blow out 2nd Quarter. Revenues up nearly 60% from the same period last year. Mobile up huge. Do people realize that by gaining $22.23/share in the session, BIDU's market capitalization rose by nearly $7.8 billion dollars just today!!!! Long term hold.
Baidu Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results
Thu July 24, 2014 4:30 PM|PR Newswire | About: BIDU
BEIJING, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (BIDU), the leading Chinese language Internet search provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014[1].
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20081103/BAIDULOGO
Second Quarter 2014 Highlights
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2014 were RMB11.986 billion ($1.932 billion), a 58.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.
Operating profit in the second quarter of 2014 was RMB3.558 billion ($573.6 million), a 22.5% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.
Net income attributable to Baidu in the second quarter of 2014 was RMB3.547 billion ($571.7 million), a 34.1% increase from the corresponding period in 2013. Diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS for the second quarter of 2014 were RMB10.09 ($1.63); diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2014 were RMB10.72 ($1.73).
"We had a great quarter as we continued to build very strong mobile momentum. As the clear leader in mobile search, mobile map and app distribution, mobile revenue for the first time ever contributed to 30 percent of our total revenue", said Robin Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Baidu. "We deepened our investment in advanced technologies like Deep Learning, which is already yielding near term enhancements in user experience and customer ROI and is expected to drive transformational change over the longer term."
My previous chart post........a deep V and then a mini cup with handle. We are now in breakout :>)
Fletch
BTW: Closed the rest of my $BIDU puts for now, still think she heads to $145 but locking in $$
That he makes enough money as the CEO :)
Baidu boosted by sell-side after earnings
Yesterday 11:09 AM ET • BIDU
"Despite a purported heavy investment plan for the rest of FY14, we believe the market has underestimated Baidu's (BIDU +1.2%) viability and is overly conservative on its growth /earnings outlook," says Deutsche's Alan Hellawell III, upgrading the stock to Buy with price target lifted to $229 from $178. "We believe it is unjustified for BIDU to trade at a significant discount vs. [peers] amid steadily improving fundamentals."
Reiterating its Buy rating, Goldman lifts the price target to $225 from $215.
Previous earnings coverage
For sure........he doesn't need the money LOL,
Fletch
If the CEO hasn't even sold one single share, what does that tell u....
BIDU has always been my "Prime Play!" The CEO is the Shizznitz!
Total revenues in the first quarter of 2014 were RMB9.497 billion ($1.528 billion), a 59.1% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.
Operating profit in the first quarter of 2014 was RMB2.374 billion ($381.8 million), a 7.4% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.
Net income attributable to Baidu in the first quarter of 2014 was RMB2.535 billion ($407.8 million), a 24.1% increase from the corresponding period in 2013. Diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS for the first quarter of 2014 were RMB7.21 ($1.16); diluted earnings attributable to Baidu per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2014 were RMB7.69 ($1.24).
Nice move today. BIDU is a strong long term hold.
BIDU was held back by margins and a down grade. More earnings news below...........
Baidu (BIDU) is the largest Internet search provider in China with 73% share of the search traffic. Until mid-2013, there were concerns surrounding the company’s mobile monetization capabilities and high dependence on the search business. However, Baidu grew organically as well as inorganically in the last few months to overcome these problems. It worked towards building a better mobile ecosystem and diversifying into newer businesses. This helped it accelerate top-line ($1.6 billion) growth to 50% in Q4 2013 from 42% in Q3. Baidu expects further acceleration in top-line in Q1 2014. The company has provided guidance for revenue growth in the range of approximately 55% to 60%.
Looks good for future gains to me,
Fletch
long BIDU march 7th 185 calls for 1.49 avg
Hey fsjm,
Good news and bad news.........Good news is there isn't a gap left behind to fill. The bad news is........after and pre markets were overly exuberant and the day market is saying earnings were not that big a deal. Funny how FB earnings were bought big time but BIDU is just a ho-hum so far. Going to be watching MELI tonight.
Best,
Fletch
190-200 by fri possible?!?!
BIDU beat and should be close to or making new highs real soon.
:> )
Why $BIDU Baidu Acquired Renren's Group-Buying Site http://www.barchart.com/headlines/story/2850194/why-baidu-acquired-renren-s-group-buying-site
Zacks does 180 degree
Zacks Rank just Changed to BUY {2}
JP Morgan raised BIDU's price target to $210 this morning stating BIDU's strong position now on mobile search in China. IMO BIDU is a great long term hold given its growth opportunities in China. In 2014, BIDU will likely have revenues over $40 billion dollars and it's easily growing topline 30% plus. Good risk reward here.
Zacks Rank changed to Hold
Meanwhile Qihoo Upgraded to Strong Buy
Will it break out to the $170s level?
Looks like Baidu is setting up to breakout to new highs. It's been in a churn between the 150s and 160s+ since Oct.
BIDU now accepts bitcoin
The demand for bitcoin has been particularly strong in China, therefore the leading search engine, Baidu (BIDU), now accepts the currency for certain services.
Boom. It's a solid beat on revenues, BIDU revs up over 42% year over year. Earnings weren't as impressive up just 1.2% year over year. Stock was up over 5% intra day, up now 7.3% after hours. Should be interesting to see how this trades on good top line numbers but bottom line numbers that while more than last year, are less impressive.

The Baidu Story
Many people have asked about the meaning of our name. "Baidu" was inspired by a poem written more than 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The poem compares the search for a retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for one's dream while confronted by life's many obstacles. "…hundreds and thousands of times, for her I searched in chaos, suddenly, I turned by chance, to where the lights were waning, and there she stood." Baidu, whose literal meaning is hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal.
Baidu chose a poetic Chinese name because it wants the world to remember its heritage. As a native speaker of the Chinese language and a talented engineer, Baidu focuses on what it knows best - Chinese language search. Applying avant-garde technology to the world's most ancient and complex language is as challenging as it is exciting. At least people here at Baidu think so. As having diligently disclosed in the Prospectus of our recent Initial Public Offering, we believe there are at least 38 ways of saying "I" in Chinese. It is important that we master all the ways of addressing oneself in Chinese because our users depend on us to address every one of their daily queries. And trust us, pin pointing queries in the Chinese language is an art rather than a science.
Our mission is to provide the best way for people to find information. To do this we listen carefully to our users' needs and wants. Have we collected all the Chinese web pages they want to see? Are the pages current and up to date? Are the search results closely related to their queries? Did we return those search results instantly? To improve user experience, we constantly make improvements to our products and services. For example, we introduced "phonetic" or "pin-yin" search which allows our users to type in Chinese keywords using English alphabets. This feature is designed to skip the switching from English inputting to Chinese inputting and for when the user is not sure of the written form of a keyword. Our users definitely notice the many little things that we do differently to ensure a simple and reliable search experience every time.
In addition to serving individual users, we also serve as a media platform for online marketing customers. We not only provide our customers easy access to one of the largest online audiences in China but also targeted groups with defined interests as indicated by queries. Unlike traditional online advertising services which charge by flat fee, our marketing products and services are performance based. Our Pay for Performance model has taken the market by storm because it is cost effective and measurable.
We know that a lot of interesting things are going on in the Internet space, but we don't want to lose focus. China's Internet search industry is only a newly discovered territory. We see vast untapped grounds in our home base and we believe there are still plenty of prizes to be claimed by the best players.
