    Pay attention to the chinese market place they are positioning themselves in our .COM universe.

    I can tell you right now the clever Chinese Multi-nationals prefer .COM as the prize example of free capitalism, unbridled by their current regime. They view .COM as the prime Trophy platforms of choice for Internet commerce. These Smart Money Chinese entreprenuers make money both ways.They are agressively adopting the English American ways of Capitalism.

    Just ask Andrew Rosener one of Broker super stars, about his (Chinese Connection),there are lots of Chinese multinationals entering our turf through the .COM pipeline.See Article in WSJ on Sanfrancisco Chinese Banking Giant.Many more to follow,trust me on this, but verify first you will find I am Dead Balls On.
