i tried to short it but no shares on IB to short. Would have made +8 bux (short form 133 cover 125) end of day, which sux. I lost $1.5 on the long side previous to the trade i couldn't do. ;/
i wasn't around most of the day so all i got was end of day action which I couldnt participate in
hmm.. i can go long but I cant short, wonder why it was bid up so high
,.. must have been the marketmakers squeezing it to get it up high to bring in the public on ipos again, 1 things for s ure how many more search engines are going to go public... omg
the market maker thing was sarcasm btw

I'm guessing you don't recognize sarcasm very well.
BIDU was equivalent of a casino. Just like gamblers, you only hear about the great wins but the much greater losses never get mentioned.
