Is Hansen Natural a Value Trap?

Very good article but needs to expand by commenting on the international expansion taking place with HANS expanding away from USA into a large number of countries and its use of Coca Cola in expanding its sales. Both these strategies should greatyly enhance the growth of revenue and income to HANS beyond its current and past results and is a reason why the stock price has remained high unlike other stocks in the current economic climate.

Shanghai's Own Stock Market Rules

Disappointing comments. I would have thought the article could have been more informative and told us about the RULES. That was what the article was headed but alas we got a little dribble about the downturn since October last year and political intereference. Well how reliable are the results, how often do companies report, and what organizations like the SEC exist if any. Well I suppose we will need to wait until an article is written about the rules to know.

Comverse Says Business Slows; Stock Sinks

Analysts are again rushing to conclusions without any basis for their opinion. Comverse has not filed any annual or quarterly accounts since 2007 and as such there is no financial information for the basis of any valuation. To state that business is slowed is like saying the results are x-y with x based upon an out of date 2007 basis and y assuming a reduction below x which may or may not be correct. The CFO has indicated the quarterly financials will not be available until December 2008 and that stage they will be going for relisting. Until that date it is only speculation as to what the financial position and results of the company are. The income recognition is a problem that will be faced by numerous companies where income cannot be recognised until it is realized with certainty so delivery of goods and services is not sufficient for income recognition the goods need to paid for as well before income can be recognized.

Pigging Out on Zhongpin

I consider FEED to have a better growth and financial statements than that of HOGS. HOGS financials are inferior to that of FEED and this has been reflected in the stock appreciation.

Focus Media: Goldman Defends

The problem with FMCN is not Olympics advertising but with the amortization of intangibles resulting from takeovers not recording sufficient revenues to justify their value. This has resulted in intangible writedowns and lower earnings than those exoected.

Chinese Companies Lead Advertising Investment Options

I agree just using FMCN is a very narrow outlokk and you need to look at XFML and VISN to include a broader aspect to the article.

Bullish on Chinese Microcaps

I consider you need to go up to the next level to give more assurance than with over the counter stocks. Stocks like FEED, VISN, CTRP, LFT, FMCN, HMIN, EJ, XFML, STP, JST all have similar qualities but are not over the counter stocks and as such have more reliability, credability with less risk. They are leaders in their field, are first movers and out do their competition and thus have a moat for future improvements.
