5. Xueqiu Social Newsfeed
The core of Xueqiu is the social newsfeed. All info appears in a microblog format, but
can be expanded to show a longer post, images, and rich discussion. Here’s an
example, translated from the original Chinese:
Sina (NASDAQ: SINA) presents a good buying opportunity, it’s near a one-year low, market cap is less than $5 billion

Rather than $75, the real low should be closer to $50-60. If you take into account cash-on-hand and portal
site revenues, plus the weibo microblog that’s about the lowest.
The market is pessimistic. Weibo is worth no less than $10 to $15, cash is $10, and portal is $30-40. So
that’s your $60. The most difficult part of the equation to assess is clearly the weibo, product, but so far so
good.
