    Chinese Tech Stock Weekly Summary (Sept. 22 - 29) [view article]
    I should have mentioned that LDK has extensive long term contracts. Many of these have some price guarantee build in to them, especially the near term ones. This means LDK should be relatively immune to the coming slowdown. It shoudl be a great stock to own for the next 12 months, if not for several years to come. Reply

    Chinese Tech Stock Weekly Summary (Sept. 22 - 29) [view article]
    Solar stocks should get a push upward if the bailout bill passes the house. Improving the credit crunch will improve solar prospects. It will tend to allow oil to rise (or stay at elevated levels), which is also good for solar stocks. But which of them should do well into the future? LDK is well diversified geographically. LDK's margins are likely to expand in the very near future, so they will have room to go down again as the solar market becomes more competitive. LDK is building its own polysilicone plant. This should help margins. Further LDK is one of the leaders in adopting UMG solar manufacturing. This too should help their margins. LDK looks to go up in the current environment. CSIQ also looks promising. It has some geographical exposure issues. However, it too is one of the leaders in UMG solar manufacturing. This should allow it to have increased margins in the near term. Then those margins will allow it to remain competitive in the coming shakeout in the solar industry. It should go up nicely from its current price if the bailout bill (with the 8 year solar tax credit extension) passes. Reply

    CEL has inconsistent dividends, paid one of $2.10 in March. Was this a one-time divy? Reply

    China ADRs: Mixed July [view article]
    I should have mentioned JASO which also reports this week. It was recently given a new buy recommendation. Also SOL has steadily moved up from a 2 star CAPS rating to a 5 star CAPS rating. It should do well. Reply

    China ADRs: Mixed July [view article]
    Both LDK and CSIQ report earnings this week (8/11/08-8/15/08). Other solar stocks report the next week such as SOL, STP, and TSL (perhaps others also). After the big down movement recently, I think we can expect an up movement over the next couple of weeks from these stocks. Virtually all should report great earnings. Hopefully LDK will report some positive guidance about their polysilicone plant also. The ones will great multiples seem likely to move up substanitally. This would include LDK, SOL, CSIQ, and TSL. LDK's movement will likely be dependent on its margins and its guidance about the two polysilicone plants it is building. The others should all move up on great results. The highest rated ones should move up more easily. The average analyst ratings for the latter three stocks are: SOL (1.8), CSIQ (2.0), and TSL (2.3). The FPE's are: SOL (6.88), CSIQ (7.40), and TSL (6.23). It looks like there is likely some room for these stocks to move up. They all have low PEG ratios, especially when compared to FSLR (which has moved down after its great earnings). FSLR's PEG ratio is currently 1.29. FSLR's FPE is 37.54 (even after the great earnings). The PEG ratios of the others are: LDK (.34), SOL (.26), CSIQ (.39), and TSL(.28). I think you can see where these other solar stocks may behave differently than FSLR at this point in time. Of course, there is still the possible headwind of oil prices continuing to go down. Reply

    Outlook for Chinese and Hong Kong ADRs [view article]
    Helpful summary Tom,

    Some would argue that Chinese domestic spending will follow the course of export revenues, and layoffs at Chinese exporters and manufacturing may trigger that. On the other hand, the Chinese exporters may become importers, or manufacturers for the domestic market or seek new international markets for goods...

    While long some Chinese ADR's, my investment interest is Chinese small caps that make most of their earnings in the Chinese domestic market that are basic materials or consumer staples and will experience strong growth. Companies such as FEED, CAGC, SDTH, CDS, and NOEC fall into my area of interest.

    BTW, is it possible on the table that LDK and TSL should fall into Industrials vs. IT?

    Look forward to your next article.

    Nice to see Cellcom high on the list. I am less bullish on Telco's.. they seem to be having a very hard time increasing wallet share.
    Internet surfing from the phone is proving a flop and people are talking all they want to, texting all they want to and paying a fixed price. Competition is huge, moving operators easy (since the number migration law)..
    Technicals isn't everything.. it shows the past, not future.
    Cheers.
