Jt,
respectfully we would disagree. As we stated in our report we have on occasion discussed idea's with Rick in the past and found him to be a cautious thoughtful investor. The truth is we can only report what we see and find on site from a distance and did just that, however if CLNT really wants a clean bill of health we would need the same tour Rick had a year ago along with access to their SAT filings. We would love nothing more then to clear CLNT but in this environment we can see why investors are still leery given the caveats we must make. We remain cautiously optimistic about CLNT's future.

hmm..
good observation: "This tiny no-account company has managed to incinerate over $80,000,000 in shareholder monies (see accumulated deficit) since inception. Where did the money go? "
They are either moving the money or just horrible at running a business. My guess is a little of both.

AWilliams,
Huayang is VIE (variable interest entity). The business arrangement and the flow of cash flows is set forth through a contract rather than direct ownership. VIE is a common vehicle when foreign companies list abroad. Counter to this is an FIE (foreign invested enterprise) which implies direct ownership. In my opinion, there is really no "benefit" to shareholders with the respect to which model is employed. The overriding factor for a shareholder to consider is will a VIE or an FIE return capital to shareholders or just walk away since U.S. law my not apply and or since foreign law my not be enforced to protect investors. For example, PUDA was an FIE which in the end portrayed a false sense of security. I would suggest that CLNT pay a dividend, upgrade its auditor and allow Geo to verify SAT documents. Here are some links you can reference for various types of ownership structure used by ChinaHybrids.

Sure, you can call this a Credit line if you want. But fact of the matter is that at current prices no money would come out Platinum's vault. They make a huge profit from the preferred which more than covers their credit line exposure at current prices (including) what they have already converted). And this does not even include deep in the money warrants. It's the beauty of how these preferred arrangements work to give investors confidence.

The point is that Platinum sold shares ahead of FDA an imminent decision as did some penny stock company that NAVB has an association with. Here is what occurred.
Platinum bought preferred and then converted some of these shares to common.
They did buy some shares on the open market, but only 37k shares which is much less than the 3 million sold. Thus,most of the sale came from the converted shares.

credit crisis is one thing.. The whole world shut down. Regardless, PERI grew in 2008 and 2009. The key point you are missing here is that PERI customers are consumers who will not get impacted by war in the Middle East. Now I guess if PERI head quarters got bombed I would wince... for a second. I think what is going on with PERI is the buy on the rumor sell on the news of the acquisition.

Michael. Maybe not the intent, but your tone was certainly negative on the stock
"Short interest is rising, and institutions are selling, another potential red flag. Lastly, the downloadable consumer products and digital medial company is based in Israel. Nothing wrong with Israeli stocks, but I just don't think it is the best place to park my money due to the geopolitical climate there. Price/book is 2.61 and Current ratio is 1.63."
This company has virtually zero risk as an Israeli company. They have no brick and mortar product, and are an online service company.
What is the institutional ownership number you are using? Not sure they ever had much.
I show short interest at only 30K shares. You also missed that analyst estimates do exist, as well as company guidance. (although it looks like you had SA take your "lack of analyst estimates" reference out.

Michael. Please read our article on PERI to gain some perspective on its story. Your screener is outdated. PERI cancelled its dividend to reinvest in growth. They have no plan to pay one in the near future. I also do not know how you assume that no forward estimates exist for this name. Yahoo is not the best source for data. Look at Reuters. To be clear, PERI is expected to report 2012 EPS of around $0.9 in 2012 and $1.60 in 2013. This pull back (and if continues as result of your article) is a screaming buy.

Hey... Nice article. Regarding EBOD, think you are right on the money. You should read our SA article on the stock published yesterday which addresses the absurdity of the bullish piece. Keep up the good work.
