    I have a few shares from around $556. It's not the kind of stock you mess around with by selling on the highs. While the constant innovations and new rollouts of things like iPhones and iPads is likely over, even as a financial engineering machine Apple is still a beast to be reckoned with.

    Anyone buying LULU at these levels? It's at a 4-year low. Clothing fad or oversold?

    The zhaopin.com website is the most popular career-focused website in China as measured by average daily unique visitors in each month of 2013, according to the iResearch Public Data.

    ZPIN is the second largest online recruitment services provider as measured by revenues in 2013, according to the iResearch Public Data.

    ZPIN's over 77 million registered users include diverse and educated job seekers who are at various stages of their careers and are in demand by employers as a result of the general shortage of skilled and educated workers in China.

    In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and the nine months ended March 31, 2014, over 10.5 million and 11.4 million job postings were respectively placed on ZPIN's platform by 250,000 and 274,450 employers including multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises and state-owned entities.

    The quality and quantity of ZPIN's users and the resumes in its database attract an increasing number of customers.

    This in turn leads to more users turning to ZPIN as their primary recruitment and career-related services provider, creating strong network effects and significant entry barriers for potential competitors.

    I'm looking at purchasing a Precious Metals Fund (Vanguard), but it still seems to be on a downward trend. I had heard earlier in the year that Gold & Silver were due to rebound after an awful 2013...any consensus here? Good time to buy?

    I like the gold miners ETF , GDX I have been accumulating since $23 and also have the Jan 2016 $20 and $25 strikes at $4 and 70c . I think once the market tops over the next year and recoils then gold miners will go up 20-30%.. its had a nice move off $23 but in the long term sense I think its a good buy here.

    Anyone like FNSR? I think they do some hardware supplier for the new apple iphone 6. I think it may be a nice play along with the new phone coming out.

    I managed to dump my GoPro at 49.50. I'd consider getting back in on a dip but we'd have to see.

    I've shifted my long term investments to the mining sector and European banks in the last couple of months.
