In my search to find another power house growth stock with the growth characteristics and niche domination as Google, I didn't have to look very far. Baidu.com is to China what Google is to the US. Its the leading search engine for the Chinese internet market, and has a business model strikingly similar to the US based marketing giant. However, I don't think Baidu.com will be rolling out any cell phones or go on a purchasing spree similar to Google anytime in the near future, but they have rapidly secured their status as the world's second largest internet marketing company. Since August 2005, Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) has rocketed onto the American financial markets as a great growth story by tripling its value in 2 ½ years (Chart #1). The majority of the stock run up began in Spring of 2007 and has not looked back, with the exception a minor blip in November 2007. Trebu... More...

The 2 major elements are remnants of central planning and Communism that still grip the Chinese economy. 1. Citizens cannot migrate to other areas of China - hence letting the Party hold control. 2. the set exchange rate. These factors are the major reasons why the Chinese economy is not growing as rapidly as it can - and even though the Party is continuously losing control - there are still many state owned enterprises (SOEs). The Chinese are way behind on these issues and many Western economists and finance experts agree specifically on these 2 points mentioned. Hence there is unpredictability in the market and I believe there is a risk there.

I'm not Chinese, I've never been there, nor do I speak Cantonese or Mandarin. Yet, I'm putting much faith in the stateside analysts who have made the flight over to see it for themselves. When Warren Buffett says their economy is booming, I'm all aboard. In regards to China's growth, I think restaining growth might actually be helpful. Many times when something goes unregulated one will make mistakes or the market prices could get even more inflated than they already are. Lastly, even though the Chinese Govt still still a communist regime, they are by far the most capitalistic communist state ever imagined. Nothing wakes up a government faster than an ever increasing treasury so in my opinion I think they will tread much more lightly over the next few years to keep foreign capital coming into their country. I feel fairly safe making my investments there, although not as comfortable as India or Brazil. Just my thoughts.
