Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Bryan Murphy]

  This is where many savvy investors would expect to hear the name Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU)... China's web-search giant, which owns about 63% of that nation's search market in addition to a good-sized piece of its growing mobile search market. BIDU isn't the stock you're going to hear touted as the next Google today, however. No, the next Google - or as close to it - as you're going to get anyway - worth some speculative investment dollars is a company called Yandex NV (NASDAQ:YNDX).

• [By WALLSTCHEATSHEET]

  Baidu provides online search and advertising to a growing Chinese consumer base. The stock has not done well during the last couple of years and looks to be continuing its downtrend. Earnings and revenue numbers have been steadily increasing, however, investors have clearly expected better performance from the company. Relative to its peers and sector, Baidu has been an underperformer, year-to-date. WAIT AND SEE what Baidu does this coming quarter.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By John Leonard]

  LUCRF.PK is one of the few publicly traded, pure-play and profitable diamond miners. A majority of the world's diamonds are produced either by larger publicly traded miners such as BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RIO), state owned companies (ALROSA in Russia) or private companies. Similar to the gold and silver mining industry, there are many exploration stage diamond miners with little to no production and consistent operating losses. Until late last year, LUCRF.PK was one of these miners. Even though the stock is up ~50% YTD, the current valuation fails to reflect the significant transition from no production and losing money to growing production and earning money.
