Update on SINA Corporation

-
On August 2nd, I sold SINA for a decent return. Since then it has been on a wild ride rising to over $45.00 and then with the recent fears of a double dip recession, it has taken a beating.

Patience is the key word here.

Eighteen Stocks to Stay Away From

-
Business Week has published an interesting article , in which they ran a screen of the stocks of the S&P 500 to determine which ones are overvalued. Not surprising, a whole bunch of familiar faces appeared: GAP, GM, Wendy's, and Yahoo. Unless you strongly disagree with their analysis, the following stocks should probably be avoided in the near term: Avalonbay Communities (AVB) Bausch & Lomb (BOL) Block (H&R) (HRB) Countrywide Financial (CFC) Dollar General (DG) Eastman Kodak (EK) Gap Inc. (GPS) General Motors (GM) Janus Capital (JNS) KB Home (KBH) Lennar Corp. (LEN) Novell Inc. (NOVL) PG&E Corp. (PCG) Qwest Communications (Q) RadioShack Corp. (RSH) Sara Lee (SLE) Wendy's International (WEN) Yahoo Inc. (YHOO)
