Best/Worst Returns
Economists say Chinese consumers need to do more consuming if we want to balance the world economy. Well, good news might be on the horizon if Lihua International serves as an early barometer. The Chinese maker of all types of wires, like the ones that go in electric appliances, had a great Q3. The company went public on the NASDAQ at a humble $4 per share and finished the quarter up 120 percent. On the flip side, CDC Software had a bumpy ride on the NASDAQ. Investors greeted the global business software manufacturer with some skepticism as the company opened at $12 a share and finished down 23% by quarter's end.
