        <![CDATA[Thanks Tony. The part I was certainly not aware of was the broker automatically closing out the ITM 8/9 call spread. I like to admit what I don't know - allows for continued learning :)]]>

        <![CDATA[No offense, but not going to work on the math, I'll assume someone is off a few points. (I think they refer to 29% of annual sales so that may be it) <br/><br/>Thanks for correction on my assumptions. OK so 2,700 branded stores for $25M and that's where you get your $9,200 per store. <br/><br/>2010 rev. 214M * .29 (Hebei) = 62M / 2,700 = $23K ann. rev. per store<br/><br/>$23K / $9.2K (acq. cost per store) = 2.5 times annual sales. Actually more realistic than my prior estimate. 3 times sales is a rule of thumb, but that could be debated forever. But compares with other retail metrics (distributors much lower margins than Yonge very likely so valued like retailer)<br/><br/>And I don't know of any business that can legally or ethically just cut out the distributor/reseller, even in the wild, wild west of China. <br/><br/>I saw some post elsewhere (Chinese origin) about Yong with ads for sales people where they give you a car if you buy X amount of product/inventory. I'm betting this will be some sort of MLM deal. Where a large portion of sales come from recruiting new sales people (must buy inventory). They do sell to farmers/small stores,but are also encouraged/incented to recruit new sales people (these then become their down-level). This could go on for quite some time in a country the size of China, but this type of thing can sometimes implode or can actually be successful especially if the product has legs. This is more a theory from 1 post I read, but notice wording Q4 PR &quot; to lower level distributors&quot;. Once they start talking about &quot;lower level&quot; distributors then you kind of wonder how many levels? I think time will prove this to be a MLM. Maybe one of the biggest ever! <br/><br/>However, they could still be successful based on size of China and wide distribution of farmers/villages. The big if in such a scenario is the quality of sales. Does the product make it to and is it accepted by the farmer or is it sales people selling to more sales people/stores?<br/><br/>I'm just guessing a little here and the rampant growth makes me think I'm on the right track. <br/><br/>I will not go into more detail because I am currently fantasizing about partnering with hedge funds, taking huge short positions, writing my brilliant hit piece and collecting the free cash! They say if you are not sure what your edge is when trading then you have no edge. I'm thinking about whole dam% blade!]]>

        <![CDATA[That 29% was copied from 10K PR. I don't know what list comprised of either, but if I were a sales rep./distributor I'd be heading for a new company if my supplier shared this info because of some guy on the Internet! You would have to have some experience carrying a bag on the street (farm) and competing for your next meal to understand how critical your customer base is. Bean counters don't play in that world. Anyway, 29% of sales, assuming list was for entire province would be about 6,400 end customers, and cost of about $3,900/customer. Per 10Q each customer is about $1,200 in rev. per qtr. I didn't do a lot of analysis on this; i.e. annualized, actual number of customers in province etc., but via my rough math it seems like they acquired these customers for less than 1x annual rev. - pretty good actually.<br/><br/>Also from 10Q - After the acquisition of the Hebei customer list in July 2010, the Company's margin on the sales made in Hebei province increased to 63% excluding these non-cash expenses<br/>(overall margin for Q was 53%)<br/><br/>So it seems like they acquired at a good cost. Have increased sales and margins in the province because of purchase. And strategically removed a potentially far too powerful distributor from their channel (from prior article by Ian) <br/><br/>Seems to me like they did more than buy a list is all I am saying. There may have been a tad more thought involved than some have insinuated. <br/><br/>What about Amway / MLM structure? Has anyone really done any research on that angle?]]>

        <![CDATA[ECD FAN I try not to enage with serial posters, but it's a slow Fri. so I'll play. <br/><br/>They did buy a list and disclosed it properly. But what is that list comprised of? Customers that have been obtained by their largest revenue producing distributor.<br/><br/>Now the &quot;list business&quot; is huge in every industry. Usually companies are buying lists of potential customers based on some sort of demographic or industry.<br/><br/>So are you telling me:<br/><br/>A. They bought this list of customers and they still sell product via this unknown Hebei provincial distributor? They bought a list, but nothing has changed in this distribution channel?<br/><br/>B. They bought this list and now sell directly to this customer/distributor list.<br/><br/>If it's A, then yeah they're pretty stupid and/or frauds. But you seem to know this stock very well. Maybe you missed this from the recent 10Q.<br/><br/>In addition, after the acquisition of the Hebei customer list, the Company is selling its products at a higher price directly to lower level distributors in Hebei, which is Yongye's largest regional market in China, representing 29% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2010.<br/><br/>Please revert to your posting on 10% customer names and 5% owners. These at least seem like educated beefs with the company. But I think the list thing, at face value, just seems like common FUD. Just trying to help you clean up your game.]]>

        <![CDATA[No position in Yong, but repeated statements that Yong paid 25M for a list seems to be an exaggeration. Firstly, it was as stock and cash deal. But my real question of such statement is that they not only acquired the list but the sales relationship with the downstream customer. If distributor is selling to these customers then they are making a profit. When they sell this list and customer base, Yong essentially cuts out the middleman and should be able to garner higher margins via direct sales to these customers. IMHO they are acquiring more than a customer list but instead the distributors profitable business.<br/> <br/>However, I do believe disclosure of this distributor (however and based on whatever) would be beneficial to determine if there are related party concerns.  <br/><br/>Lastly, I have seen other comments about this business being structured like an Amway or similar MLM. Do new lower level sales people have to buy inventory and/or do they also try to recruit other new sales people? Does anyway have any ideas/evidence on this and if so what is the opinion of there sales structure? ]]>

        <![CDATA[Your incessant posting usually with inuendo and dribble. And if u r independently wealthy then what a poor way to spend your days. <br/><br/>As expected you did nothing to discredit the report except the norm, ask other questions, bring up other unrelated issues, yada, yada, yada - you could go on for days :)<br/><br/>You see, you are annoying. Don't tell me what they isn't there, don't tell me about CFOs at some conference, don't tell me about your public service hero MW, don't tell me the boogey man could be real ... no, no is certainly real, pick the facts apart. Prove them wrong BEA? Give me one customer name ... you know that line right? (Yonge) Just one fact BEA. Then you will be worth one more post.<br/><br/>Tell me what facts in the report are erroneous. That's all just one. <br/><br/>You know I have picked up a factoid from you - and did some research based on it - Yonge SEC large customer disclosure. But of the 100's of posts you make that's all I can site. OH and something about DSPS - stock this writer touted - good info. OK that's 2. I'm sure there are more jewels awaiting me one day.<br/><br/>And it saddens me to see you are obviously (no certainly for sure) paid by MW and/or their affiliates for your work here and every other board I've recently visited. I guess that was obvious. Those guys are really scum, but smart and have found a good way to make a quick buck and I hope you are paid well because you are skilled with FUD. They just leave a lot of hurt in their wake so you might consider another profession. Me, I'm just bobbing and weaving around the carnage. ]]>

And if u r independently wealthy then what a poor way to spend your days. <br/><br/>As expected you did nothing to discredit the report except the norm, ask other questions, bring up other unrelated issues, yada, yada, yada - you could go on for days :)<br/><br/>You see, you are annoying. Don't tell me what they isn't there, don't tell me about CFOs at some conference, don't tell me about your public service hero MW, don't tell me the boogey man could be real ... no, no is certainly real, pick the facts apart. Prove them wrong BEA? Give me one customer name ... you know that line right? (Yonge) Just one fact BEA. Then you will be worth one more post.<br/><br/>Tell me what facts in the report are erroneous. That's all just one. <br/><br/>You know I have picked up a factoid from you - and did some research based on it - Yonge SEC large customer disclosure. But of the 100's of posts you make that's all I can site. OH and something about DSPS - stock this writer touted - good info. OK that's 2. I'm sure there are more jewels awaiting me one day.<br/><br/>And it saddens me to see you are obviously (no certainly for sure) paid by MW and/or their affiliates for your work here and every other board I've recently visited. I guess that was obvious. Those guys are really scum, but smart and have found a good way to make a quick buck and I hope you are paid well because you are skilled with FUD. They just leave a lot of hurt in their wake so you might consider another profession. Me, I'm just bobbing and weaving around the carnage. ]]>

Anyway, your annoyance leads me to write. <br/><br/>Have a go at this and tell me what is fraudulent in this Global Hunter report: <a rel='nofollow' target='_blank' href='https://ghsecurities.bluematrix.com/docs/pdf/2e6cd10c-3f08-4304-b994-5b0ca8a93e2f.pdf?co=Ghsecurities&amp;id=ghsresearch'>ghsecurities.bluematri...</a><br/><br/>Just the report. <br/><br/>Stay focused on the report, but tell me if you think they loaded up on calls and sold puts before publishing? MW is not a research firm - they are a trading website at best. Does MW do what they do as a public service? What is their source of income? Follow the $$$ BEA. No they pre-trade their articles. Their trading patterns are easily seen in the days before any published article. And they readily admit they take positions - and we all know short. It is so much easier to drive down a small cap with retail ownership than to tout one.<br/><br/>Remember, focus on the report itself and if you can pick it apart I'll stop selling puts to the MW bagholders - that's what they are now as the perps have left the playing field.]]>
