My investment in Baidu (BIDU) stock

 I bought 100 shares of Baidu a month ago at an average cost of $245 USD. Baidu is an internet search engine that earns revenue from advertisements. It is also described as the "Google of China".


The stock hit a high of $250 three years ago, but dropped to $100 after its advertisement revenue fell.

I took an interest in the stock when I learned that they are strong in technology and has developed a self driving software for taxis, which were being tested in several cities in China. They have many business revenue sources.

I watched a few videos that analyse the business and financials of this stock. Here is one of them.

The stock has moved up strongly over the past few weeks. It is currently at $314 pre-market. This gave me a gain of ($314-$245) X 400 = $27,600 USD.
