You gotta start somewhere, I take it you want zillions up front in ad revenues but I don't think it works that way.

That number will grow very quickly. Back around 1995, before they went public, I contacted Yahoo about advertising on their site. At that time I could have bought a three-month rotating ad on the main page for $25k. (That's what Honda was paying at the time.) Care to guess what that ad would cost now? ig

IMO this is all relative. Some are traders and some invest (like myself) for the long run. It is absolutely uncertain if China will be a dominant Web Portal in 3-5 years from now. But as we say here: "Rome was not built in one day". The Chinese will make their way, there is no doubt. As with all shares, there is always a risk to loose some money, or to make some profit. Today China is for the first time traded on the German Stock exchanges and I am curious to see, what the demand will be. Hans
