SUNW

SUNW continues to build new base around 5.5 inspite of recent drop to 5.12. We likely see another breakout from base or congestion area around 5.5 level.

LFC

This is an illustration Signed Life Ensurance how life insurance industry may grow as middle class grows in China. Recent accounting issue with LFC’s predecessor presents some buying opportunities. There was also a rumor about class action lawsuit related to LFC’s IPO. The prospect of class action lawsuit may push it even lower in the near-term.

It’s a up day …

Obviously the job report is not too bad and things are improving in the job market. The market reacted positively.

Both CHN and LFC went up more than 3%. SOHU closed up at 29.05; Mar 30 C is selling at 2.40 now. ACH went up 9.2% today!

SOHU

Long SOHU Mar 30 C @2.30. This is a play at major support level. If the support around 28 holds up, SOHU will move back into lower 30s.

Tomorrow is the first day BOX opens for trading. I hope the stupid cancellation fees charged by all current option exchanges will be forced to be removed due to increasing competition. There’s another stupid rule in option trading, that is, you can not have 100% electronic transaction. Up to now, all exchanges require at least somewhere during the order entry process, a human involvement must be present.

Waiting to see job reports tomorrow.

China Stocks took big hit …

LFC took a big hit as its predecessor was found with accounting irregularities. It dropped $2.13 or 7.4%. Other China stocks was also impacted. Increased my LFC position. Also bought CHN. Looking for opp. to buy HNP again.

SUNW went down to 5.12. It needs to stay above 5 level to keep previous uptrend. Otherwise, we shall see it back to 4-4.5 level.
