BIDU, daily

Summary

BIDU has been battling higher - along with the main equity market, from a recent low of $88.

Today's daily candle, is a bit of a weird one, an 'island candle' I guess it could be called. Yet, the primary price trend looks comfortably to the upside.


Super profitable

BIDU is an extremely profitable website based company, with net profit margins of a rather astounding 44%.    see key stats @ Yahoo! finance

Today's announced acquisition of a Chinese app' maker is the primary reason for the price jump, but still..BIDU remains one of the best tech-software companies out there.

Even a pull back to test the now broken 200 day MA of 97/98 will do nothing to negatve the primary upward trend.
