I am very cautious about Chinese ADRs.  I do not have a lot of confidence in their revenue and earnings projections. If you think the current technical indicators are enough for you to buy please buy only if you can afford to lose.  Note what happened back on 9/23 where in a 2 day period the stock dropped from 2.61 to 2.15 and floundered for a couple of months before its recent climb.  Be nimble on this one.
