Most Recent Note for SFUN - 12/31/2012 12:41:04 PM Challenging its 52-week high with today's gain, but it is extended from any sound base pattern.

It faces very little resistance due to overhead supply up to its all-time high hit when noted cautiously in the 5/10/11 mid-day report - "This Chinese Real Estate Internet portal firm's IPO was on 9/17/10 and its shares split 4:1* on 2/18/11."*
