Highlights from the August 17 Featured Expert column by Ian Wyatt include:

Bubble-icious

Less than two weeks ago, Baidu.com (Nasdaq:BIDU), a Chinese search engine along the lines of Google (Nasdaq:GOOG), went public on Nasdaq and investors went wild, bidding up the stock from $66 at the open to a high of $151.21. Though shares closed at $122.54 on the first day of trading, up $95.54 from its offer price of $27, the smell in the air was unmistakable - money, greed and another potential Internet bubble on the horizon.

If investors still have too much money to spend - or at least if hedge funds remain overly awash with cash - they are being overly generous when it comes to investing those dollars in bubble-icious stocks. Baidu.com might have soared on its first day of trading, but homebuilders such as KB Home (NYSE:KBH) or petroleum refiners such as ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) have been on an upward trajectory for two years or more. The two year gain for ConocoPhillips? 150 percent! The two year gain for KB Home? Nearly 200 percent at its recent peak!
