Sohu.com Inc. will report its second quarter 2008 unaudited results on Monday, July 28, 2008, before U.S. market hours. Looks like a good runup to earnings is quite likely, thus providing a near term opportunity.
SOHU is China's equivalent to GOOG in the USA, but not yet as pervasive or appreciated. And they have a strong gaming component which resonates with the Chinese market. This should power their long term growth.

I like SOHU but, today it is a short term sell. This sprung way too high and will probably correct. It definitely had a great earnings report but, in my opinion not good enough for the gap that it opened with this morning. I'd try for a one or 2 day sell or put option then it will be a buy. If your a swing trader it's gaps like this that can make you some money. Good luck!

BIDU is another player but may have seen its best run already. Think of it as the Chinese Google or Amazon. Nuf said.

Sohu.com (SOHU) is the perfect example of the stock market today. They did a triple play today - beat on earnings, raised guidance and to top it off announced a $150M share buyback or just under 10% of their market cap.

That folks is the definition of risk/reward not in your favor.
We sold the last of our Sohu.com on Sept 9th in the $65s; it is now in the mid $40s - another "round trip" in the maki...
