Stock number three: Sungy Mobile Limited

Mobile Games, SNS Not Ready For Prime Time--Seeking Alpha

Since the IPO, Sungy's shares have gradually lost their luster as broader sentiment toward these Chinese Internet firms has cooled somewhat. The company's shares fell another 9 percent in after-hours trade after it released its first-quarter results, ending at $12.65. That's still above its IPO share price of $11.22, but a far cry from their post-IPO high of nearly $32 reached earlier this year.
