yes, Amen...nothing but tulips and roses:)

thanks Bobby, as far as UTVG goes I am still big on this company through next summer. I mean, Q2 Revs were 7million and net income was 1.6 million compared to Q3 that came out last week that was 20million Revs for the Q and 3.1 million. Thats almost a 100% gain sequentially from Q to Q man which is awesome. Shows that all the acquisitions are working out. I'm going to bet big that w/ the Olympics coming up that this Chinese travel agency will be a big play. That said, it needed profit taking and I will look for the TA reversal to load up again. I wish the markets weren't crap lately though:(

thought you didn't want to argue? its up .02 since you gave me your little rebuke earlier. oooooooo. You should come talk to me over on Tsafi's board. Oh yeah, you are up there with the likes of Hahn and have been banned. GLTY as well.

SYUT just hit almost 39 bucks on earnings dam!

Synutra International, Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Liang Zhang commented, "I am pleased to announce another strong quarter of performance for Synutra. Our results this quarter demonstrate our continued focus on profitable growth and successful execution of our business strategy. Revenue growth in the second quarter partially reflects the enhanced market demand due to the increase in the number of babies born in China's year of the Golden Pig. Also contributing to the Company's quarterly performance was the increased investment in our integrated marketing initiatives, such as TV-based advertising and promotional activities. The success of our marketing efforts was demonstrated by an increase in brand recognition, new consumer trials and usage of our products, according to a study by CTR, a leading marketing research firm in China.

Chairman Zhang continued, "Building on our expanded production capacity, Synutra is implementing new production processes aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency and cost reduction. Our research and development team remain focused on improving the quality of our products and key nutritional components. We remain confident that the infant formula industry in China will continue to experience significant growth as purchasing power and consumer demand for branded products increases. Synutra is well- positioned to capture this growth through successful execution of our strategy: implementing our integrated marketing program to build brand awareness and reducing costs through improved manufacturing efficiencies."

Sales in the first quarter ended September 30, 2007 increased by $40.6 million, or 89.0%, to $86.2 million as compared to $45.6 million for the same three months in 2006. Gross profit was $46.6 million, or 54.1% of sales, for the three-month period. This increase was primarily a result of increased volume of products sold and increased average selling prices recorded during the period. Second quarter net income increased by $4.9 million, or 98.7%, to $9.8 million from the same three months in 2006. Earnings per share increased 80.0% to $0.18, compared to $0.10 earned in the fiscal second quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Earnings per share increased 11.5% to $0.29, compared to $0.26 earned in the first six months of the prior fiscal year.

I don't care about "the story" on this stock. Its a POS being pumped by little boy Lebed and that's all I see. If this company's "story" is so outstanding, then why do they have to pay some boy $30K to pump their "story." From Lebed:

"RHGP just hit $2.61!

Remember... an analyst this week gave RHGP a $7 target price.

If RHGP can grow EPS next year to between $0.41 and $0.55 like analysts are predicting... I believe $7 could potentially be very conservative!

RHGP is starting to build a lot of momentum! China stocks are the hottest plays on Wall Street right now and RHGP's fundamentals are unbelievable!

excellent Lebed boy pump on RHGP this week! lol

I've noticed that most of the posters on this board transfer and allocate in different manners by-and-large. Is this because some of you are more risk averse due to age and lean more heavily toward the side of caution as far as capital preservation goes? I mean, some of you are already loaded in this thing and then you've got the guy like me who has only contributed to the TSP for the past 5 years. I tend to waiver directly between the I and G funds 100% most of the time. In order to attempt to be on the right side of the long side volatility of the I-fund. Some of you I see do about the same thing, but some of you allocate all over the place. Am I right on here? Who is the youngest here? hahaha, just joking:) BTW guys, I thank you once again for hosting this board.

Lang, I just knew TSTC was going to have superior earnings, but I got stopped out by the recent sell-off and was shy to reenter thinking something might be wrong w/ earnings.

UVE, I gave up on her for the time being as well. Yes, earnings were like .33, but they were assessed by the State of Florida recently which ate into EPS for the quarter. Most people were thinking .50 plus minus the assessment, but they did not quite meet that. On top of that there is a BIG seller that is dumping shares out of his yin-yang to the tune of some 4 million (that's how many he started with) so that has severely depressed the PPS as of late. I don't think there's gonna be much of a pop.

BIDZ and CDS were my babies this week. TASR I got a nice little squeeze out of as well although I was only aiming small on that one. I know I said I was no longer big on BIDZ awhile ago, but that was in relation to NILE stock PPS action waning. I think BIDZ is back and should be bought right before next earnings call. Have a good one! what do you have cooking? I'm going short on USO again I think...

that's cool. I'd like to see that. Especially on FXI and EWZ. Thanks!

in CXPO 11.50 on earnings

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/071114/cxpo.ob10-q.html

CPHI (3.20)earnings out. Nice, but receivables are still high IMO

dam, EGMI...Do you have a position right now Tsafi? I bet this one will be a big mover based on those numbers.

CSCA hit a new 52 week high yesterday of 13.75. This is the "classic" slow cooker Chinese OTC style stock I like that reminds of me SYUT and CSCT type action from earlier in the year. I'm holding since 10's and 11's for acquisition and uplisting news supposedly this month. You do have to be patient w/ these types of plays. Not a day trade, but a hold for a few months for sure

Well, well, well, I revisit my old friend right before earnings yesterday CDS @ 8.50 and they come out with earnings from out of this world. I woke up early to look at the earnings that are just out @ 8am and WOW! Nice pop to 11 bucks PM!! I'm holding again this time. Last time I held this one from 3.20 to almost 10 bucks so CDS (old CHND.bb) has been my stock of the year by far. Weeeeeeee lol

Having just returned from China, we anticipate the new joint ventures will provide a significant contribution to our financial results in the fourth quarter of 2007. We have begun to see the effects of our efforts to increase operating margins and expect those trends to continue. We remain focused on adding capacity while increasing current utilization of our existing manufacturing operations. Our recent cash infusion from the exercise of outstanding warrants, coupled with our AMEX listing, places our company in the best position in its history to execute on our plan of internal growth and strategic acquisitions in China.

I got back into CDS (old CHND) today @ 8.50. The company recently came out mid Q and raised '07 guidance substantially. Earnings out before the bell tomorrow. I did not post on the board when I got it today b/c I was trading on my smart phone. Should be action either way tomorrow. CC after the bell.

yeah, I'm not looking for big gains here. Just 3-6% for me on some short covering in a decent market

I just got in @ 13.96 on TASR. Shorts getting out is all. PE is up there where I don't usually buy, but I'm counting on shorts covering like I said.

TASR off the bottom w/ 20% plus short for no fundamental reason that I can tell. I am banking on some covering in this market taking TASR up from here for the rest of the afternoon IMO. I'm in @ 13.96 and looking for 3-6% upside. SL 13.50 for me.

hahaha, looks like I am going to be dead wrong on this one!

taking a bite out of TASR here in the high 13's. Looking way oversold to me. hopefully this goes my way and I don't get stung by TASR lol

I am doing DD on DGS as we speak and will get back to the board on it in the near future. I see some potential in the thought process at least, but I have no idea with whom they are invested.

you entered GILF Tsafi? I would have thought you would have said MILF at least! hahahahahaha, just messin' with you!

Tsafi, In Israel, have you ever heard of IDB Development Corp? They are the top holding for DGS (the first ever ETF based on emerging market small caps) whose inception was only 2 weeks ago. I am researching this ETF to see what I can find out about it and am thinking about dropping some cash in on this. Just wondering if you know that company. Hell, you may own it for all I know! lol

Nice board you all! I just marked it! Personally, I like EWZ long, but you never know these days. DGS is an interesting new one as stockscientist pointed out. I will be watching closely, but am a little skiddish on that right now as well.

Do you all think this is a one day bounce and that's it for a few more days or do you think the correction is over and we're up from here? Personally, I think we go up until more credit market write downs occur. Good to see oil down as well. Just trying to figure out how to go with the TSP for tomorrow. BTW, and to go back to my initial question from a few weeks ago as to how successful some of you are with transferring around every day or every few days I must attest that I have been experimenting and have been green if not preserved more times than not by doing the same. I think its a worthwhile venture, but 100% success all the time is obviously improbable. I appreciate the effort of the posters on this board.

BIDZ about to cross 18 now...dam! I didn't see this coming this quick

looks like the market likes this value play BIDZ that I posted yesterday. Its up almost 20%. Just follow the message trail backwards for the reasons why. Roth just raised estimates today as well.

BIDZ over 17 bucks now. I will sell here very soon

that your 58K shares on KALG Tsafi?

I just want to say this as a prediction and nothing more than that...The DOW will close down green, but will only be up by less than 10. Let's come back at the end of the day and see if I was right:)

nice call on CVDT Tsafi, it just kissed .90

Tsafi, E-Turd should have stuck with its core broker business even though its not even that good. They were just trying to increase shareholder value by going into the mortgage industry and it backfired all over them! I agree with you

looks like Roth analyst just raised PPS estimate from18 to 19 on this BIDZ as well. A few things driving her this morning

i do too! lol, what in the world?

thanks bobby, 16 plus now! weeeee

BIDZ up about a buck to 15.55 PM on that earnings release AH yesterday.

funny you should tell me to stay OT on this board. At least I am talking about trading/investing when some of these conspiracy theorists around on this board talk about everything BUT making money and/or pumping some POS. You should aim that somewhere else compadre:) Thank you

I have an oil question for the board:

Which ETF would you go long/short on banking on oil prices to correct? Long DUG, Short DIG, or Short USO. USO seems to have the largest degree of seasonal volatility on the weekly chart so I would tend to want to go with that one. Just curious to see what you folks think. Thanks!

Lang, I do believe that CPHI earnings are going to be great this Q and I do believe it could go to 5 bucks. On top of that it looks like the chart is turning over finally, huh? I just hope the market helps matters as many Chinese smallcaps have taken it hard on the chin as of late despite BB status.
