Magal Security: An Undervalued Play On Security Spending [View article]
Nice article and summation. We profiled MAGS for our readers back in early February around $4.
You have great timing regarding a pullback, or at least some volatility. Today it traded from a high of $6.14 to a low of $5.40. The one and five-day chart look like an old wooden roller coaster.
Still, there's room to go. We posted a mid/long-term price target of $7-$8. Definitely possible with their entry into new markets, better margins and recent contract wins being announced almost daily. Maybe long-term was too pessimistic.

Alpha:
If you would care to take 10 second before throwing accusations, you'd know that we are never paid and never have been paid to profile any stock. Never. We also do not own any stocks we profile. Period.
We try to find two types of companies... longer-term growth stories and excellent undervalued momentum plays like this one. Another one that moved fast was XPO just days after we profiled it, or SIFY, up from 2.88 to over 8.00 in less than two months. A long-term example? ZAGG profiled at $3.13.
This just fit what we are looking for. A little luck in timing helped!

Thank you again.
As mentioned before (several times), I am not hoping for a collapse. I do not even wish to see a recession. This is just a warning of what could happen if things fall into place.
The pace of real estate devaluation in China is many times the rate the US had, even at its worst. Again, I am not predicting anything. This article was written to warn others of the risks. Many investors have not heard of many things mentioned. Beijing itself controls news outlets. When that is the case, history teaches that governments (just like here in the US) paint the best picture possible - and the truth is usually much worse. Not to compare China with the USSR, but many preached that the Soviet Union was fine.
I do not believe 100% what my government says. I certainly will not believe 100% what those wishing to stay in power in any other country say.

As mentioned, I do not wish for a collapse. It would be devastating for more than just the people of China.
People's opinions are well respected? If that was the case, Beijing would not have so many journalists (and even bloggers) in jail. Not to mention many that just go missing.

Thank you for the kind words.
Nowhere in the article am I predicting a crash. Just putting the pieces together to show it could happen.
The West is so dependent on China for so many things, just imagine is they fall into just a recession. Really. Just a recession. Perhaps have to sell our Treasuries. Just negative growth in China would almost immediately hurt the US and many others.

The shopping mall is still empty. That's not a rehash. The 60 million figure is quoted "as high as". Not a known fact.
The gov't has banned many things. In the US, drugs are illegal. So is insider trading. So, it doesn't happen? The copper financing is still happening. The link source is current. If they are correct, a majority of the copper in the past three months is being used for that. The "ban" is just window dressing. Firms will get around it. If not copper, something else.
The last two points? If you're talking about the protests they are still happening. The plant closing was not very recent, but it was a great example and the full story came out. That is rare where the government controls the media.

India is not a free Democracy. They still have a caste system. If you are in a lower caste, try running for office. Or owning a business. It's only a Democracy if you are from the right family.
Since there is no upward mobility for millions, the Democracy label is a facade. Worked well enough to fool many. You too?

As mentioned, I have no equity holdings (long or short) and even recommended UTA and GURE before in my newsletter. GURE tripled after that. I write about small-caps and wanted to include a couple in the article. The two ETFs listed were the first two that I saw on SA in bullish articles. That's why I chose those.

Democracy or a Democratic Republic form of government is the only style that will work. India may meet your definition of democracy, but not mine. They still wallow in a caste system which prevents economic mobility. Because of that, the lesser people do not have access to the system. You mention Japan and S. Korea. Move any country in Asia into a system like theirs and you will see prosperity. It's the only form of government that works to lift all - if it's done right.
My point in the article was to bring across the fact that China is not as prosperous as they seem. It's a house of cards that could... could tumble.

Nope. At this moment, I hold (long or short) zero stocks. Not a single one. Other than mutual funds in a 401(k) type account, I have no positions in equities at all.
My newsletter actually recommended GURE and UTA a long time ago, that's why I mentioned them. Great stocks at the time, but I would no longer own them now. Too much macro risk. We profiled GURE (then GFRE) in June of 2009 and it tripled.

You are correct. They were trapped in Chile and all but one was a Chilean national. Peru helped lead the rescue and that may have been why I had Peru. My mistake. Thanks for catching that.

I hope a full collapse does not happen. If it does, you are correct. I hate to imagine what would happen to our economy and the world's economy. Everyone is worried about Italy. That would be a pittance in comparison.

Sensationalist? Again... what was sensationalist. Check my figures. Click the links.
