CKGT This is probably the reason for the recent land aquisition.

CKGT $2.33 HOD
CKGT 8:25 am $1.95 bid
Does King Kang now have enough independent directors to uplist?
CKGT I hope I can buy some at the opening for $2.25. Once the price starts to run it will run hard.Might be somewhere between 2.50 & 3.00. If it holds $3 then just hang onto your hats when the company issues a PR about the results. This will intoduce the 2nd leg up.I like the name "King Kong" for CKGT.
CKGT out of the ballpark. It will be much easier to uplist by next week. .15 x 4=.60 x5 pe min.=$3.00pps But we all know earnings will be going up further via the cigs and hog feed and chicken feed so the base new share price should be 3 and going higher and higher each quarter.An uplist and we can start talking about a P/E of 10, the price would double.
CKGT I will be looking for uplisting news
NEWN Very nice find. Very nice.
NEWN you would think that with the new aquisition and production capabilities would come new contracts eventually. Just my 2 cents. Looks interesting enough for a average position here. Im in.
NEWN This just looks unreal. .68 off of the aquisition alone?? I get a little uneasy when something should be a lot higher but isnt. Is there an anchor here im not seeing?
NEWN Should run past 7 easy. Must be underfollowed.
NEWN Looks like a nice catch.
CKGT being a foreign company arent they given an extra 2 months to file late?
Cactus bears fruit for Morocco
Blog: The View from Fez - 3 August 2009
By: Helen Ranger
Late summer sees carts full of prickly pears for sale in the Fez Medina. You won't find this humble fruit in the supermarkets, but it only costs a few dirhams to have the vendor peel away the prickly skin and for you to taste the refreshing flesh. It seems, though, that el hindia, as the prickly pear is known in Moroccan Arabic, might contain more than meets the eye. Helen Ranger reports.
The BBC website reports today that women in the Sbouya hamlet near Sidi Ifni in the south of Morocco are harvesting the fruit of the prickly pear cactus (of the genus opuntia) for much more important reasons than selling them on market stalls. The cactus, previously eaten as fruit or used for animal feed, is creating a minor economic miracle in the region, thanks to new health and cosmetic products that are extracted.
Every local family has its own plot and, with backing from the Ministry of Agriculture, there's a scheme to transform small-scale production into a significant industry. Dh12m has been pledged to build a state-of-the-art factory that will help local farmers process the ripe fruits. The move is expected to help workers keep pace with the requirements of the French cosmetics industry which is using the cactus in increasing numbers of products.
Izana Marzouqi, a 55-year-old member of the Aknari co-operative, says people from the region grew up with the cactus and did not realise its true benefit.
"Demand for cactus products has grown and that it is because the plant is said to help with high blood pressure and cancer. The co-operative I belong to earns a lot of money selling oil from the seeds to make anti-ageing face cream," she said.
Each member of the Aknari co-operative can pick between 30 and 50 pallets of the fruit in a morning during the season, which lasts from July to December. Many of them also work in the factory nearby, where the fruit is peeled, the pulp separated and used to make jam. It's the seeds which are ground to produce an oil that is the most lucrative benefit of the plant. The oil is used in more than forty cosmetic products, and sells at a very high price as a pure skin oil.
It takes approximately one tonne of the tiny seeds to make a litre of oil. The leaves are ground into a powder; the flowers flavour vinegar, and the pulp of the fruit has been found to lower cholesterol. There's not much left over for animal feed, these days.
Keltoum Hammadi, who runs the Aknari co-operative, says that some of the processes are secret.
"In the cosmetics industry, rivals never let the competition know their sources," says Hammadi. "All I can say is that we are working with a number of European laboratories to develop the use of the cactus for slimming."
Keltoum Achahour, manager of Saharacactus in the Sidi Ifni area, explains that her company is collaborating on other new products.
"We are a sort of umbrella for a number of women's co-operatives," she explains. "By forming a group and incorporating, we can protect the cactus, create a brand and ensure we get a fair share of the vast sums of money that the international cosmetics industry spends on research and development."
The industry is expected to grow by more than 20% next year alone. More than half of the land suitable for cactus production has yet to be involved in any commercial activity, and with 9 000 plants per hectare, there's still a lot of room for expansion.
It's also an industry that has won women a lot of freedom. Sayka Hafida, a member of the Aknari co-operative, says that her life has been transformed by this organic, naturally-occurring plant.
"We still use the cactus leftovers for animal feed and we eat the fruit when it is fresh, and dry it for times when the plants don't produce. But I could never have imagined that I could get such a good income from it. You don't have to be educated to work in the factories. Our children are feeling the benefits. There is much more money around and it is women who are earning it."http://www.lonelyplanet.com/travelblogs/235/1863/Cactus+bears+fruit+for+Morocco?destId=355491

NEP Less risk but less profit potential as it takes a lot more mula to create the gains. Also , for whatever reason the stock has really been lagging lately.
As i remember the company used about a 3 month cultivation time frame for there species of cacti they used. But dont bother to reply. You are going on my ignore as you come across as someone who doesnt do any DD and just bashes. Have a nice day.
CKGT Cactus animal feed seen as major growth area

China Kangtai Cactus Bio-Tech, Inc.
MIAMI, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Organic animal feed extracted from cactus is emerging as a major growth industry, with China pushing forward into the market as a producer of a patented hog feed extracted from the plant.
Cactus is indigenous mostly to the Americas, but various species of the plant are now grown across the world, either in the wild or in nurseries. In China, cactus has earned a huge following as a curative plant alongside traditional Chinese medicine and modern modifications on ancient herbal remedies.
The latest cactus product to emerge is a patented animal feed marketed by China Kangtai Cactus Bio-Tech Inc., a U.S.-listed Chinese company based in Harbin, northeast China. China Kangtai engages in the production, research and development, sale and marketing of products derived from cacti in China.
A spokeswoman for China Kangtai Cactus Bio-Tech Inc. told United Press International she had no immediate information on the company's plans to compete in Western markets with the innovative animal feed.
Kangtai has signed a strategic cooperative production agreement with another Chinese company, Helongjiang Songnan Feed Technology Co. Ltd., to produce the patented animal feed.
Studies of animal nutrition and immunology indicate that cactus-derived feed provides nutrition, boosts immune systems and prevents inflammatory illnesses, the company said. Production plans include cattle feed, fish feed and hog feed -- and a poultry feed by 2010.
Kangtai says it has implemented stringent quality controls of raw cactus materials that exclude chemicals or pesticides in planting and processing.
Kangtai produces nutraceuticals, nutritional food, liquor, beer and wine, even a "cigarette" and cactus raw and intermediate materials.
Kangtai CEO Jinjiang Wang said, "China is the world's largest hog producing country, having slaughtered 625 million hogs in 2008, compared to approximately 100 million hogs in the U.S. China also has the world's largest consumer base for pork consumption."
He said more than 65 percent of all meat consumed in China is pork. The cactus hog feed market shows huge growth potential. "Hog producers are constantly seeking ways to improve the health and productivity of their livestock. Our cactus products are proven to enhance pork production," Wang said.
Based on scientific studies of animal nutrition and immunology, he said, cactus-derived hog feed provides nutrition, boosts immune systems and prevents sepsis and inflammatory illnesses. Studies have shown that Kangtai's cactus feed substantially increases productivity, quality and health of hog herds thereby improving the quality of pork, Wang added.
China Kangtai was awarded patents from China's State Intellectual Property Office in 2008.
Industry analysts said the cactus hog feed could pose a challenge to animal feed producers in the Western Hemisphere. China Kangtai has already drawn attention from investors in the West.http://www.upi.com/Science_News/Resource-Wars/2009/11/04/Cactus-animal-feed-seen-as-major-growth-area/UPI-41081257350400/
You clearly have waaaaaay to much time on your hands. ;p
I use my magic 8 ball. Its got a 85% track record this year.
Unless of course CKGT reports incredible results and then reveals plans to uplist. Then CKGT tops the lsit.
GCHT They are overdone with the PRs. The more that come out the lower it goes.They are isuuing prs like two a week now.
One thing you got to like about the China market is thier BILLIONS of potential customers.
CPQQ taking some off table. Will roll into CKGT.
CKGT WOW. Nice find!
Pretty pricey for s stock thats losing money.
CGDI 10Q out "Net income attributable to the common stockholders was $899,667 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1,384,927 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $485,260 or 35%. The decreased net income for the current quarter was attributable to the higher total general, selling and administrative expenses incurred as described above." http://biz.yahoo.com/e/091118/cgdi.ob10-q.html
CKGT finally files an extension. Maybe they will be giving forward guidance for the first time and are being extra careful??
Geez, isnt three times a charm?
CPQQ kaboom
China will be building the worlds arks so they are doing better than most think.(2012)
