10 Best China Stocks To Buy For 2014

It's time to change how we think about investing.

It's not a game. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's not an opportunity to display gravitas or irrationally masculine risk aversion.

Or, at least, it shouldn't be these things.

It's your retirement. Your children's education. Your future. Their future.

These are noble objectives that won't be realized haphazardly.

What we do and don't know about investing
There's a lot about investing we don't know.

In the first place, it deals with the future, which, despite our best efforts, is entirely unpredictable.

On one hand, it's reasonable to expect that the American economy will take flight on yet another multi-decade boom akin to the post-World War II era. At the same time, it's equally reasonable to conclude that things will sputter and plateau on the heels of a slowdown in China and continued malaise here at home.

Beyond this, we don't know how well most individual investors have performed in the past. We know it's bad, but we don't know how bad.

  For some time, China's largest search engine could always count on its partnership with SINA� (NASDAQ: SINA  ) Weibo, a Twitter-like service, to infuse Baidu products with social information. But now that China's biggest e-commerce retailer Alibaba has bought shares in Weibo, Baidu investors should be scared.

  Celebrities have a funny way of lifting a platform's visibility. Twitter was doing fine as a place for tech-forward folks to share short messages, but it really took off once entertainers took to pecking out 140-character missives. The same scenario played out in China with SINA's (NASDAQ: SINA  ) Weibo. The moment top athletes, rockers, and movie stars took to Weibo, it became the undisputed micro-blog of choice for the world's most populous nation.
