  1. I believe Cramer and the street are wrong about Melco. Although I do not trust the individuals running the company,I believe that this has consider upside in the short time. With Melco cornering the market so to speak in Macau,they should do well. Until LVS and WYNN,Galaxy and others catch up to Melco, I believe MPEL to be the play. Overtime, it will switch to the others unless Melco really invests big time. The problem with that is, there will then be too much competition. Melco right now is in the window of opportunity. Short term!
