 | 1) Is The Market Ready For Olympic Competition? + Vic Wisemann’s Thoughts on GE, IBM, and more… Vic Wisemann InvestorsObserver Featured Contributor |  | I, like millions of other people, have been watching the Olympics from Beijing and I had a thought: What if there was an Olympics for publicly-traded companies? What if there was a competition and I was one of the judges? Of course, there would be different categories. Some of the categories could be things like long-term performers, short-term performers and option plays on each. Since I am sort of a belt-and-suspenders-style investor (I hate to lose even one penny), the category I would be most likely to judge would be the companies least likely to surprise investors with big drops over the next 90 days.

"Year Of The Bear: After The Torch Goes Out, Will The Chinese Economy Slide Into A Recession?” | | Be one of the first to read and reap from this options trade based report. Summary: Over the years, economists have studied a phenomenon known as “the post-Olympic bubble,” in which the economy of an Olympic host nation starts to slide immediately following the Games. Given the size and near unstoppable growth of China, many economists doubt this will hold true for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. However, while the overall Chinese GDP may remain strong, the “bubble” could have a significant impact on certain Chinese industries, such as construction, transportation, and energy. This article will explain the phenomenon and why many economists feel China is immune, investigate several industries within China that could experience a boom or a bust following the Olympics, and provide several trading strategies designed for China’s post-Olympic volatility. Stocks Covered: Aluminum Corp. of China (ACH), Home Inns Hotel & Management (HMIN), China Mobile Limited (CHL), SunTech Power Holdings (STP), General Electric (GE), Nike (NKE) Target Returns: Up to 28.8% or 62.4% Annualized Downside Protection: Up to 31.8% Investor Level: Beginner to Advanced Risk Level: Moderate Relative Risk All stocks and options shown are examples only.
