Can you elaborate on the 51.com subject? What is it, how big of a stake, and how does it help GA?
Everything looks good at these levels. I think the run to over $15 was a little too quick, and EPS was rather flat and not in line with their revenue increase, but you cant go wrong with this if it hits back under $13, which it definately could today.
Im looking to get back in around 12.5
This one seems to be getting the worst of the hit on the news of the 3 day suspension of gaming as morning for the earthquake
However it seems to fit with the chart retracements, 78% level at $13.
Earnings went well
and I'm looking forward to hearing more about the possible increase in there stake of 51.com
Very suprised this has not taken off. Company is one of the better i have seen in China along with SORL and JST IMO.

The institutions might be waiting for the official Q3 numbers before they get behind this stock.
Today's report was the unaudited numbers for Q3. We won't get the official numbers until the 2007 annual report is filed. No date set for the 2007 annual report - January xx, 2008 ?
If you're a believer, look to average into this stock on pullbacks between now and the release of the 2007 annual report.
Wait to see how the market reacts to the 2007 annual report if you want to see audited financials. I don't know if there will be any significant news to drive the share price up between now and the 2007 annual report.
Tony
I put the highlights of the Q3 press release in the iBox.
From the PR:
Conference Call
Giant Interactive Group senior management will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern) on Tuesday, November 20, 2007 to discuss its 2007 third quarter financial
results and recent business activity. The conference call may be accessed by calling +1- 866-202-1971 (US) or +1-617-213-8842 (International), with pass code 68099188.

Statement Regarding Unaudited Financial Information
The unaudited financial information set forth above is preliminary and subject to adjustments. Adjustments to the financial statements may be identified when audit work is performed for the year-end audit, which could result in significant differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information.
We'll see what happens in the AM. Conference call is at 8 AM before the market opens. I expect a wild day.
Will the hedge funds try to take it down and cause maximum pain to the IPO buyers?
I think it will bounce back when the bears give up on trying to shake out weak hands.
You're looking at a Chinese internet gaming company with proven earnings growth over the past year.
Institutional buyers will step in at some point.
The stock needs some analyst coverage and price targets.
It's an NYSE stock with earnings - not a Pinky.
