Are the People over at Qihoo 360 This Dumb ?

Qihoo 360 (“QIHU”) is what some would call a “battleground stock.” On one corner, you have short seller Andrew Left over at Citron Research. On the other corner you have Kaifu Lee (former Google China exec), who initially defended QIHU, and then went out of his way to start a website called citronfraud.com . Kaifu must have had a lot of time on his hands.

Well, the following press release  just issued by QIHU (thanks to the friend who tipped LST off) looks more like a $20 million market cap penny stock promotion rather than a multi-billion $ market company’s press release. See for yourself:

  1. haha that is epic. Pretty soon they will be sending out 3rd party options reports, citing positive Call/Put trading volumes! I’d love to see what DividendSeeker has to say… but I feel like signing up to receive this (undoubtedly) brilliant report will lead to a ton of spam coming my way… so I sadly must refrain.

  2. Given his background and celebrity status, Kai-fu Lee’s behaviour doesn’t make any sense… Political pressure, maybe?

    • All good questions. Whatever the case, it seems to be in China’s (and Kaifu’s) longer term interests to embrace critics, in order to strengthen China’s capital markets, business culture, etc. These things all pay off, though they do take time.
