Finals Contest: Nancy Beaumont Takes Top Spot

Nancy Beaumont

Good morning. Chinese gaming stocks are in the spotlight Monday as The9 (NCTY) propelled Nancy Beaumont to the top of the pack on its 10.31% gain. The9 was up on the news that Electronic Arts agreed to buy a $167M stake in the company, and also licensed a soccer game to The9. Steven Lee managed to hold onto second even though he was all in cash after Friday's trading. He has now gone all-in on Neurochem.

As we said, Chinese and Southeast Asia Online Gaming companies proliferate the trades of our contestants as you'll see below and 5 out of the 20 contestants bought Gigamedia Monday.
