Good deal. Thx finbar.
Thinking where there's big $ to be made there's crafty positioning, and that this one has a chance of being one of those "if only I'd bought it back then" Q's. Basing my risk on a 50% potential loss though.
13g filed by Honest Best with 11% of O/S - had been suspecting someone was accumulating.
Ad hoc Equity Committee has filed motion for appearance in the CHNGQ case. Can't hurt. This has got to be one of the slowest cases with the barest minimum of motion practice I've ever seen.
They dealt with that quickly.
CHNG: China Natural Gas and Executive Settle Fraud Charges
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2013/lr22719.htm
Press Release from Insider Investing Daily
Should this help CHNG. Seems they would already have the capability to roll into the recent discoveries of NG in China?
However; this will not get them reporting to the SEC.
Dear Reader,
I will keep my commentary brief. I want to introduce you to somebody I think can make you a lot of money. But before I do... I need to share some big news from Friday.
It looks like China will beat America in the race to energy independence.
When I first wrote about China's huge natural gas discovery in late December, my phone lit up. I had reporters across the U.S. and even Europe wanting to know why I wrote what I did.
Now, just three months later, the story is even bigger. And my bold prediction is quickly becoming true.
On Friday, Beijing told us its shale-gas production will go from almost nothing today to 6.5 billion cubic meters by 2015... and more than 10 times as much by the end of this decade.
The announcement marks a huge shift in the world's energy markets. And it is not just another example of propaganda from a country known to fudge its data. The United States readily admits China is a game changer.
With over 36 trillion cubic meters of gas trapped within its shale deposits... China owns the world's largest gas reserves. And those figures are straight from Washington.
Say so long to coal... and so long to nuclear energy. Cheap, abundant natural gas will soon be the world's energy source of choice.
Higher closings are a good thing...hmm...
Wake up you!!!!!!!
WTF?????? I want my money back! CHNG doesn't trade since September and THE CAUSE OF IT'S COMMENCEMENT TODAY IS THAT IT IS GETTING WALKING PAPERS FROM NASDAQ....that's some major FUBAR right there!

The Index, created by the Halter Financial Group and calculated and distributed
by the NYSE Arca, is comprised of companies whose common stock is publicly traded

China Natural Gas, Inc. is not a current client of QualityStocks
May be a chance for a good bounce back here soon.
Isn't this the same lawfirm for NEP lawsuit ... ?
INVESTOR NOTICE: The Rosen Law Firm Announces Filing of Securities Class Action Against China Natural Gas, Inc. - CHNG
China Natural Gas (MM) (NASDAQ:CHNG)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Wednesday 1 September 2010
The Rosen Law Firm today announced that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of China Natural Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHNG) common stock during the period from March 10, 2010 through August 19, 2010.
I think it was Roth that busted them for the inconsistencies.
They issued a Sell on it and a target of $5
I don't know what their actual numbers are. Doesn't matter now.
They will have to pump the stock with press releases.
If I recall correctly Roth in their notes said they expected CHNG to generate revenue in Q3 from LNG. However RedChip says it would be late Q3 or Q4.
So I don't want any part of this
I will look at the Q3 numbers but probably won't even consider investing until 2011.
What is the scoop here real? Did the auditors catch them cheating? What was there net income before and then after this incident?
CHNG re-stated Q1 with the loan information, that Roth busted them on.
CHNG - short term bad news. A research report put out today by redchip says
On July 1, 2010, the Company began test runs of their new LNG production facility. The Company expects
to complete the test runs either by the end of 3Q10 or the beginning of 4Q10. CHNG plans to begin
production this year and then proceed further with their forward integration strategy of developing their
own network of LNG fueling stations. The annual capacity of the LNG facility will be 150 million tons and
the Company expects a utilization rate of 40% in 4Q10.
CHNG - an 8:49PM on a Friday earnings press release.
Who's idea was that! Geez! Did thry get the snuggie late night discount! Only bad news comes out after hours on a Friday.
And it wasn't that bad, with a new plant coming online for Q3.
Always release news before the market opens M-F
10Q filed. Revenue up 21,135,599 vs 20,742,520
net income 4,560,503 vs 3,862,756
Earnings .21 vs .26
Shares increased to 21,582,662 fully diluted from 14,726,647
They raised $54 million with an offering 9/2009 for the new LNG plant.
outta gas, so to speak.....
Short side
TRADE QUALITY 50%, Poor
TARGET 1 Price: 6.36
TARGET 1 POTENTIAL Excellent, there are 2 support areas on the way to Target 1.
Stocks may quickly fall to Targets when there are not many support areas blocking the way.
TARGET 1 SUPPORT Current price at support: 7.1 ± 0.21, type triple, strength 5
-5.7% at 6.6 ± 0.2, type single, strength 1
-9.1% at 6.36 is Target 1

"China's NG consumption jumps 22.1% in past 6 months compared to the same time last year" the Global Times reports.
Natural Gas to be cornerstone of green energy supplyin China
China Natural Gas CHNG has recently completed its Liquid Natural Gas facility in Jingbian County of Shaanxi Province projected to boost revenues and earnings by 50%.
Free CHNG Company Profile
It looks like it's all good news for China Natural Gas lately. In a recent acquisition, CEO Qinan Ji seems genuinely excited about the prospects of the new compressor station as it helps the company expand deeper into Hubei Province.
The LNG plant in Shaanxi Province, one of the largest LNG plants in China is coming online and the company anticipates that the LNG plant will make a significant contribution to its business model by the end of the fiscal year 2010.
Another growth stock here that is over 50% off it's 52-week high! Too much of a bargain to pass up.

China Natural Gas (MM) (NASDAQ:CHNG)

Today : Friday 2 July 2010
China Natural Gas, Inc. ("China Natural Gas" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CHNG), a leading provider of compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicular fuel and pipeline natural gas for industrial, commercial and residential use in Xi'an, China, announced today that it successfully completed the single-machine test run and ignition ceremony of its Jingbian liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on June 30, 2010.
Mr. Qinan Ji, Chairman and CEO of China Natural Gas, commented, "It is with extraordinary pride that we happily announce the completion of the single-machine test run and ignition ceremony of the Company's Jingbian liquefied natural gas plant. As a county, city and provincial-level key project, the plant endured once-in-a-century snowstorm, the May 12 earthquake, 2008 financial crisis and lasted 1,015 days to complete the single machine test run and ignition. I am truly grateful and delighted to share this achievement with all our investors."
The Company recognized the accomplishment with an ignition ceremony at the plant, which marks a major milestone in the Company's history and will soon activate an important asset in the future results of the Company's business plan. The plant is the only LNG plant in Shaanxi Province and one of the largest LNG plants in China. The Company anticipates that the LNG plant will make a significant contribution to its business model by the end of the fiscal year 2010.
With the successful completion of the LNG plant single-machine test run and ignition, the Company is about to build its own LNG fueling stations, which will further the Company's strategic vision of an integrated LNG operation that covers production, distribution and marketing. The Company believes this strategy will place it in a highly advantageous position going forward in the competitive natural gas marketplace.

China Natural Gas (NasdaqGM: CHNG) RedChip Research Rating: “Strong Buy” with $19.50 Price Target. Free Research Report @ http://ow.ly/1sMYZ
CHNG 4Q Results
Revenues increased 18% versus 18.40M to 21.67M in 4Q 2008 (this increase was due to the opening of more stations and the increase in the business of residential and commercial natural gas).
Sales of natural gas increased by 6% versus 15.25M to 16.10M in 4Q 2008.
Sales of gasoline increased by 69% to 1.94M versus 1.15M in 4Q 2008.
Revenues from services increased 81% to 3.63M versus 2M in 4Q 2008.
In 4Q revenue mix was as follows:
Sale of natural gas: 74%
Installation and services: 17%
Gasoline: 9%
Gross profit in 4Q grew 11% to 10.53M versus 9.49M for the same period last year due to increased revenues from natural gas marketing and revenue from the services(change of conventional vehicles to LPG vehicles)
Gross margin decreased to 49% versus 52% in 4Q 2008 due to rising prices of raw materials.
The net income was 5.68M versus 4.26M in 4Q of 2008 resulting in an EPS of 0.26 versus 0.30 in 4Q 2008.
The highlights for the results of FY 2009 are:
- 20% increase in revenues.
- The Gross profit increased 23% to 40.16M
- Net income of 20.21M or an EPS of 1.20 (Non-GAAP)
This gives a PER of 8.81 which is quite attractive. Xinao Gas Holdings Limited (PER 26), the China Oil and Gas Group Limited (PER 51) and Towngas China Company Limited (PER 29) have an average PER of 35.
For CHNG to have a PER of 17 (let's be conservative and consider half of the average PER of the competition) would have to trade at $ 21.
This estimate is very conservative because it doesn’t take into account some catalysts that will have an extreme importance in the future growth of the company:
- LNG facilities.
- Partnership with China National Petroleum Company (CNPC) to build service stations for natural gas.
-The natural gas consumption is growing at an average of 20% per year in China.
Today the company will hold a Conference Call before the market opens and we may have some indication about the CHNG prospects for 2010 and 2011.
Yes this stock is very undervalued with a 1.5 mil short position, can we say Short Squeezzzzzzzz???

VectorVest Stock Analysis of China NatrlGas as of 1/8/2010
This report has five major sections.
Capital Appreciation Analysis
Dividend Analysis
Price-Volume Data
Sales / Market Capitalization Information
Summary
The ticker symbol for China NatrlGas is CHNG. CHNG is traded on the NASDAQ - (xO) and options are available for this stock
Business: China NatrlGas, (CHNG) China Natural Gas, Inc., through its subsidiaries, distributes and sells natural gas and gasoline to commercial, industrial, and residential customers in the Xian area, including Lantian County, and the Lintong and Baqiao Districts of Shaanxi province of the Peoples' Republic of China. The company also engages in the construction of pipeline networks. It offers natural gas through a network of approximately 120 kilometers of high pressure pipelines. The company also distributes and sells compressed natural gas (CNG) as vehicular fuel through a network of CNG filling stations in Shaanxi and Henan Provinces.

Industry Group: CHNG has been assigned to the Utility (Gas) Industry Group. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 200 Industry Groups and 40 Business Sectors.
Capital Appreciation Analysis Back to top
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. CHNG has a current Value of $22.51 per share. Therefore, it is undervalued compared to its Price of $12.33 per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.
RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. CHNG has an RV of 1.50, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. CHNG has an RS rating of 0.96, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.
RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. CHNG has a Relative Timing rating of 1.32, which is very good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.
VST (VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. CHNG has a VST rating of 1.27, which is very good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price.
Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. CHNG has a Buy recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.
Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position. CHNG has a Stop of $11.26 per share. This is $1.07 below CHNG's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.
GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. CHNG has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 21.00%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, as shown weekly in our investment climate report.
EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. CHNG has a forecasted EPS of $1.31 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.
P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. CHNG has a P/E of 9.41. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest database is 59.56. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.
EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. CHNG has an EY of 10.62 percent. This is above the current average of 1.68% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. CHNG has a GPE rating of 2.24. High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 4.34%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.19. Therefore, CHNG may be considered to be undervalued.
Dividend Analysis Back to top
DIV (Dividend): VectorVest reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. CHNG does not pay a dividend.
DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects dividend per share as a percent of Price. CHNG does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.
DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. CHNG does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.
DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company's financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase earnings. CHNG does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .
YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DS, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. CHNG does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.

We suggest that Prudent investors buy enough High Relative Value, High Relative Safety stocks to keep the overall RV and RS ratings of their portfolios above 1.00. As you do this, you'll find that your risk will go down and your investment performance will improve.
CHNG: good point!
Like I said I don't have a position.
I'm just looking at the 10Q at the SEC web site...
Net earnings for the Q are .29 per share vs .35 per share last year.
Also, from the Q report:
We are a distributor of compressed natural gas ("CNG") in China.. As of September 30, 2009, we operated 24 CNG fueling stations in Shaanxi province and 12 CNG fueling stations in Henan province. We own our CNG fueling stations while we lease the land upon which our CNG fueling stations operate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we sold CNG of 40,420,123 and 120,866,756 cubic meters respectively through our fueling stations, compared to 40,547,584 and 107,226,877 cubic meters for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
I haven't looked at the details but it seems that the amount of NG sold at their filling stations is declining rapidly... I thought this was the main reason for owning this stock... The transformation of China's auto industry changing from liquid fuels to compressed natural gas.

$9.81 AH now...better cover soon.
The Q report doesn't look good...
Clearly the numbers were leaked.
http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1120830/000114420409057419/v165251_10q.htm
If I had any of this I'd be calling the SEC, what happened today is against the law.

About China Natural Gas, Inc.
China Natural Gas, Inc. - A US listed company
China Natural Gas, Inc. is the first China based natural gas company publicly traded in the US (stock symbol: CHNG). Managed by seasoned industry executives, the company owns a 120 kilometer long high pressure natural gas pipeline in China's Shaanxi Province, home to China's second largest natural gas reserve. CHNG is headquartered in the historic city of Xi'An, the fastest growing city in China's western regions supported by a population of 8 million and is noted as the capital of the first dynasty of China, the Qin Dynasty and its rich history of world famous terra cotta warriors. The city of Xi'An is centrally located in China. Xi'An is not only the "gateway" to China's developing western regions but also is within easy access to China's more developed regions in the East and South.
We Are an Environmentally Friendly Natural Gas Services Provider
Many taxis in China are configured to operate on natural gas. Due to rising cost of gasoline, taxi drivers feel a direct economic pinch. Compressed natural gas ("CNG") powered vehicles not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also can save a driver as much as 60% in fuel cost - the bulk of a taxi driver's daily operating expenses. Moreover, CHNG also supplies clean natural gas to homes and businesses to eliminate the reliance on heavily polluting coal for cooking, heating and industrial applications.
