i think the long-term story in macau is just fabulous.s, i don't know if you're following this internal fight among the political leaders in the communist party, but right now looks like the capitalist rotors have -- and the crowd has advanta vanquished those who prefer a lot of blooming flowers. too many things have to go right with a story on a market punishing companies viciously. there's the shareholder lawsuit and the fact wynn is dependent on china at a time everyone's terrified by the slowing in the chinese economy. if china has a hard lending, something socgen suggested today, then wynn would get crushed like a tin can. i don't want to own wynn right here, right now. the most important part of my calculation, the big catalyst of this company, their new development on macau's strip i mentioned, hey, come on, it's four years away. macau's been experiencing major wage inflation, maybe the project will take longer than expected to finish. maybe the chinese communists who have become very, let's say, inconsistent, do something against

and the growth opportunities are similar in singapore than macau.'s a duopoly. we think, you know, asia just overall offers a lot more opportunities for investors in terms of stocks to invest in versus the u.s. operators. >> to what extent, chad, will singapore cannibalize business from macau? >> you've seen very little cannibalization. you've seen a high extent of gamblers going to singapore. you haven't seen much effect at all on china gambling revenue. that was a big concern at the start, but singapore, you know, last year, the china market grew 4%. so singapore just didn't have that much impath ct on the chin market. >> chad mollman from morningstar. very interesting. that's it for me. eibel back tomorrow with moving markets. jackie, take it away. >> all right, christine. see you tomorrow. thanks to chad as well. >>> still to come on the show, though, disney reports better than expected earnings and says there's a big future for its new box office smash, "the avenge jers." we're going to break down the company's results coming up next. we're goi

in europe, they started sell energy drinks in hong kong and macau, and are nuts for it.lier this week, they rolled out monster in japan, ecuador, and are planning to launch monster in chile, monster philippines, and parts of monster europe. this is the early innings of what could be a major international and yes, monstrous expansion. sixth item, is the balance sheet strong enough to support all this growth? it's got $391 million in cash, no debt. analysts want them to buy back stock, i want them to plow it into stock. this is a growth vehicle. number seven, is the stock expensive when it comes to the out years? how's it going to do in the future? monster sells for 29 times earnings after yesterday's giant rally. the books say -- the different services i look at say it has a 17% growth rate. that is a little pricey. then again, i could see one of the major soda companies making a bid for monster to get in on the energy drink action if the stock took a serious downward turn because of the stock market. eight, is management good enough to execute on the plan? oh, man, execu

. >> caller: beat the street by 12 cents, a great outlook with huge growth in macau, but the last sixs they dropped about $10 a share, what do you think? >> i like las vegas sands. all the casino companies have been under a lot of pressure because wynn had horrendous vegas numbers. people are worried about china. it's one of those terrific companies that will keep getting hit as long as there's worries about international weakness. i like las vegas sands, i'm a buyer, not a seller. let's go to tyrique in illinois. >> caller: boo-yah from chi-town. >> what's up? >> caller: a great internet stock, akamai. they had a blowout quarter and boosted their revenue guidance, but this quarter, light on the top line, but they're strong in the cloud and internet. >> think about it. look at cisco, strong in the cloud and internet and they had a negative forecast. so anyone who is strong in the cloud and internet is going to get hit because cisco's a trusted name and the cios in this country -- all the technology guys in this country do enterprise spending, they trust chambers and they trust cisco.

unfortunately, the sanctions were lifted by the bush bank accounts in macau and other activities. i think it is one of the great mistakes the bush administration made. i think we should continue to make every effort to modify their behavior. we could do that through closer relations with south korea, presence. we continue to be active in. really force change in north they could shut down their economy in a week or two. that may be an exaggeration, but they can certainly have a significant effect on north korean behavior. i keep hearing from -- maybe it the certainly, those who have a different view from what i do. they're saying, china has unified korea. if they became unified, the thing china had problems absorbing what was then east germany into their economy? this was since 1945 a country that had no principles of capitalism, free enterprise, of democracy. the challenge would be -- and to integrate north and south korea, it would take years and years. it would not be a threat to china. how does a unified career really pose a threat to a world superpower? it is foolishness. all

the sanctions unfortunately lifted by the bush administration, including their bank accounts in macau and other activities we had sanctioned i think one of the great mistakes the bush administration made. and i think we should continue to make every effort to modify their behavior. we could do that by a closer relations with south korea. maintaining our military presence. there's a number of areas that we continue to be active in but the only country that can really force change in north korea obviously is china. they could shut down their economy in a week or two. at least that's maybe an exaggeration but they certainly can have a significant effect on north korean behavior. and they have got the levers of power to do that. i keep hearing from, maybe if not the apologists, certainly those who have a differing view than i do saying, well, china is afraid of a unified korea. if korea became unified you think that germany had problems in absorbing what was then east germany into their economy? my god, this is, this is, since 1945 a country that knows no principles of capitalism, of free
