Madharry, I will follow you in ARUZE today with a small buy. It's a gamble imo. (yes, a too obvious pun -g-) If WYNN stays up, then ARUZE should do okay also. That's a significant IF. Looks like ARUZE is at an all-time high? Gambling stocks up sharply today; WYNN up $5.6 to $93, so maybe not such a good day to be buying ARUZE. I have a little LVS (among other gambling stocks). I'd like to continue to make a long-term bet on Chinese/Asian gambling, and rather than add to LVS, I'm willing to diversify by going with WYNN a little through ARUZE. And for me, I'm willing to pay up now for a few shares. jmo, I could be wrong.

MGS - gas utility and pipline company - Since we are into gambling <G>. I'll submit my foreign value pick MGS as well. Metrogas is an Argentinian Gas regulated utility and pipeline company. MGS went on the brink of bankruptcy in 2002 during hte argentinian crisis but has recently restructured their debt and is currently profitable. Nevertheless stock went down because the government did not yet approve rate increases. After the deb restructuring the balance sheet appears to be in a decent shape (debt/equity about 1). Total enterprise value is about 440M$ (if I am correct) and according to yahoo profile, MGS has about 2 Million customers and owns 15,800km of pipelines. I own some bought at lower prices and had some stinker bids in to buy more which never worked out. My research is fairly shallow on this stock (their website is terrible but they do file with sec.gov so please do you own dd.
