You need patience with this one. In addition, Hong Kong is frantically buying IPO Tom.com, taking money out of other stocks. We all knew what we were buying...an empty shell. Softbank buying it is no hype. Take advantage of the dip and buy more!

I have not found Yamakita to be a poster of hype on the Softbank thread and I doubt if that is the case here. However, if you only bought this stock on his recommendation without doing any of your own research, you have no one to blame but yourself. This stock will take time and is no doubt very speculative, I wouldn't give up on it just yet. Regards, Debra

James, I've known Yamakita for a number of years. We work and live in the same city and I've hired him for a few projects. He is one of the last people I would expect to hype anything, and is in fact very sensitive to any sort of pitch. Things are jumpy. Stay calm. I don't know what you paid for your stock, but even without knowing I'm sure there are others who paid the same or more. Just hold tight. (The header does say it is "very very early.") What you bought was the brand name and expertise of Softbank. Give it a chance to work. Things should get interesting when the name changes over, and even more so after U.S. investors begin to notice en masse. Regards, blan

James Franklin -- wow, you sound like a real newbie to trading. Maybe you should use mutual funds -- there's no shame in that for overly nervous investors. It is plain to see to anyone following the news why the Asian stocks mostly had a rough week but if you think the name Softbank doesn't mean highly probable success, you probably should not even be in Asian stocks since you might understand that whole field. Good luck with your trades.
