Hello Kate, Welcome to this thread of wackos and nuts:0)

<<... any opinion about the China web portals SOHU and NTES>>

I had met the good folks that run these ventures in 1999, and was not particularly impressed then, though was puzzled by why the market valued their ventures. Yes, I remember sinned, for being envious.

Much has happened since that age of intoxicating oxygen, where one could make money by simply deciding to make money.

I believe much of the portals' recent rise in price has more to do with the fact that they are Chinese, as opposed to they are portals, and if so, I advise staying away from them unless one is simply making a quick wager, to abscond at first sign of gain.

P.S. Yes, I am promoting my website, for I believe we will be here on SI for awhile, and so might as well be more responsible and accountable than we typically have in the past, while exchanging ideas.
