SLIDESHOW: 5 Stocks That Will Soar in 2013
Baidu
Earnings up 27%
Revenue up 36%
Investors seeking high growth in Internet companies can turn to China. Despite having lagged behind other countries in initially migrating to cyberspace, China already has the world's largest Internet population.&nbsp;Baidu is the country's leading search engine, serving up more than two-thirds of China's search queries.<br />

Sure, there are concerns that China's restrictive government will clamp down on the freedoms inherent with online surfing. The so-called &quot;great firewall of China&quot; isn't a myth, and regulators are moving toward verifying the identity of citizens going online.&nbsp;Baidu isn't growing as quickly as it used to, and a rival's pesky new search engine is a threat to swipe market share in 2013. However, the growth is there for a stock that is now trading at just 16 times forward earnings.
