EastBridge Investment Group Announces Tsingda Century Education Signs Agreement for $15,000,000 Capital Raise
Press Release Source: EastBridge Investment Group On Tuesday March 16, 2010, 7:30 am EDT
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - 03/16/10) - EastBridge Investment Group (EBIG) (OTC.BB:EBIG - News) today announced that its client, Tsingda Century Education, has successfully entered into a pre-listing capital raise agreement with a leading investment banking firm in New York to raise up to $15,000,000. The road show, consisting of four executive members, was headed by CEO, Mr. Zhang Hui, who presented their company to the investors from March 11th to 12th.
To learn more about Tsingda, please visit their website: http://ir.eee114.com.cn
Mr. Zhang Hui, Chairman & CEO of Tsingda, commented, "We are very happy that Maxim Group, a well known Wall Street investment bank, has agreed to be our lead banker to raise up to $15,000,000 pre-listing monies for us. This agreement confirms our business model and our ability to finance our growth with U.S. investors. With this financing, we can accelerate our growth and speed our listing on a U.S. stock exchange."
Mr. Norm Klein, CFO/COO of EastBridge, commented, "We are very pleased to see our second road show in ten days conclude successfully. As is the case concerning our other client this past week, these pre-listing monies, generated through a structure called private placement, will be investments by institutions and investors who will generate more market support once the stock opens for trading. As for the listing timing for Tsingda, it will be sooner than the normal SEC registration process since we plan to reverse merge Tsingda into a shell so that we can list it on either AMEX or Nasdaq directly. We expect all clients who secure a capital raise agreement will eventually become public companies after SEC clearance."
EastBridge Investment Group focuses on high-growth companies in Asia, offering IPOs, Joint Ventures and Merchant Banking services. The Company targets industries in electronics, real estate, auto, metal, energy, environmental, bioscience and food retail distribution.

The broader market averages staged a pretty bold recovery until recently, but conglomerates have done even better. The average financial company rose 57% in value from the year-ago period. But that figure includes investment banker Rodman & Renshaw (Nasdaq: RODM), which saw its stock soar 1,900%, and insurer Conseco (Nasdaq: CNO), which has risen from deathwatch a year ago to achieve a measure of greatness. Conseco's stock is up almost 1,600% in the past year.
Let's see which of the companies in the table above might be poised for a similarly spectacular revival.
Some spring in its step
Despite his seemingly open, folksy ways, Warren Buffett is always an interesting enigma to decipher. While it makes sense for Berkshire Hathaway to eliminate its holdings of Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific in light of Buffett's purchase of Burlington Northern, there's a bit of a conundrum evolving in his simultaneous sales of oil companies ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and ExxonMobil.
The Burlington purchase was all-in bet on a rebounding U.S. economy. CAPS All-Star member Jeffreyw think it represents Buffett doing what he does best: "[Berkshire] will continue to benefit from what Warren Buffett has always done... find undervalued companies at bargain prices and buy them. Being added to the S&P500 will require some institutional purchasing for their index funds as well."
Read all about it
China MediaExpress Holdings operates China's largest television ad network on intercity buses. Now it's planning big moves following a $30 million private placement in January. While M&A activity is now clearly on the drawing board, the company might not face smooth sailing. A number of Chinese mergers had to be called off last year, including a planned union of media giants Sina and Focus Media (Nasdaq: FMCN), after government opposition created a hostile climate.
CAPS member kevquinn isn't concerned, expressing extreme bullishness about China MediaExpress's future: "[China MediaExpress Holdings] had more than enough money to finance expansion but they've opted to seek financing for an even greater expansion. They are full-on bulls!"
High-strength steel
Niche steel processor China Gerui Advanced Materials Group is also on the move. The steel sector has benefitted from that country's stimulus spending. However, the government sees the potential for a bubble forming, and it's putting the brakes on various initiatives.
Despite a possible government-enforced cool-off, CAPS member rknapton says the actions the company is taking certainly make China Gerui look like it has no plans to hunker down:
It looks like growth has slowed a bit... but they address that in their investor presentation, and say that isn't due to a lack of demand, but that their production lines are near capacity... so they are making a new production facility that will be able to double their production capacity by 2011. If they can have near the same margins on this... that would make the stock real real cheap.... but like I said, I don't know anything about how prices for cold-rolled steel fluctuate.
The ball's in your court
Many factors go into whether a stock is a buy or sell, so it pays to start your own research on these stocks on Motley Fool CAPS. Read a company's financial reports, scrutinize key data and charts, and examine the comments your fellow investors have made, all from a stock's CAPS page. Head over to CAPS today and share your thoughts with other investor-analysts on whether you think these stocks are ready to bound higher.

Cool wick on MILL...BLGW .95 may not be too far behind to explode also imho...tuna
Gapper CTEL 11.97 -.08 surely didn't get it right for today but I'll give it another shot for tomorrow...tuna
BLGW .93 -.02 after hitting .99 a new all-time high on strong volume! Some profit-taking here, but we may still possibly run up into the close yet...but it doesn't appear we'll break a buck today as I'd thought we may...still holding all my shares for months into the future when I hope and believe this stock will have trended much much higher....we'll see anyway! tuna
Nice! And BLGW .97 x .98 nearing a million shares already in new all-time high territory and likely to be at least the 2nd highest trading volume in the stock's trading history!!
