Just yesterday, one of those Fools, WealthLift, succinctly summed up the China Mobile opportunity for our community:
Even if the company doesn't reach a deal with Apple, it is still sitting on 660 million subscribers in a country that has seen its mobile phone demand skyrocket in 2012. Oh, and did we mentioned it is chronically undervalued? GET IN THIS NOW; it has $75-$80 upside.
