REDF - Any Longs Here?
I am about to buy into the hype. I look at the historical earnings and I don't see anything interesting. But looking at the chart and the Alexa rankings (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/rediff.com#); it is tough to be in the top 200. If you look at the other companies in that ranking area, you won't see many at this price level unless they have XXX million shares out there and X billion debt. I don't want to miss BAIDU if it comes again. Anyone in this one long term?
Interesting fact
India 1,173,108,018 population
5,000,000 Internet users as of 2000
81,000,000 current Internet Users
6.9 % Population online (China = 31%)
1,520.0 % Internet Growth Rate
I just don't know if rediff.com has the same product/it factor as BAIDU / Google. What happens if rediff.com owns the India Market (#9 right now) and India keeps growing users @ 1500%?
Chinese Company Question
Does anyone think the whole 10% Chinese GDP growth / next superpower is over-exaggerated? Many Chinese stocks have great fundamentals, but the stocks are way undervalued because of fraudulent reporting. I am beginning to think the whole country (China) is fraudulently reporting. It just doesn't make since that these stocks are reporting such high profits, but yet they are trading @ about a third of what the US companies are.
Sorry, all of this research got me thinking.

Interesting Slide Show
http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/OLGC/1199975872x0x434227/3b6f8aa1-a196-4d6e-85a3-4308dfcb0d62/Capstone_Therapeutics_Corporate_Overview__Short_Form_Jan2011.pdf
Can anyone tell me what this means from the slideshow?
Stockholder Put Right Mechanics:
?Give all CAPS Stockholders as of record date (30-Jun-2011) the
right to “put” their shares of common stock to the Company on or
about 31-Jul-2011 for cash redemption at formula-based price*
? *Net Liquid Assets less Commitments and Contingencies
?Put Right will expire if:
? Material Transaction
? Plan of Dissolution or Liquidation
? Change in Control
The gap is what I really noticed. I would like to be invested when/if it fills.
PSUN - Earnings
Doesn't really look that horrible to me (see bold). I can't see it continuing to tank.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. reported a fourth-quarter loss about the same as its loss a year earlier as its revenue declined.
Shares of the teen retailer, based in Anaheim, Calif., fell on the news.
PacSun reported a loss of $35 million, or 53 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $36 million, or 56 cents per share, in the same quarter last year. Excluding one-time items, the company said its loss grew to 33 cents per share in this year's fourth quarter from 26 cents per share a year earlier.
Quarterly revenue fell 10 percent to $263 million.
The results were worse than Wall Street was expecting. Analysts anticipated the company would report an adjusted loss of 27 cents per share and revenue of $272 million, according to FactSet.
PacSun said its sales of men's wear rose on a comparable basis, while its women's sales continued a two-year slide.
"We clearly have much still to accomplish to turn this business around," said CEO Gary H. Schoenfeld.
The company expects to post a loss of 46 cents to 55 cents per share for the first quarter, or 29 to 35 cents per share on an adjusted basis.
For the full year, it lost $96.6 million, an improvement over its fiscal 2009 loss of $70.3 million. Its revenue for the year that ended Jan. 29 was $930 million, down from $1.03 billion in fiscal 2009.
PacSun shares fell 33 cents, or 7.7 percent, to $3.98 in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company reported on its earnings. They had ended regular trading up 12 cents at $4.31.
GMXR - CFO Buying Shares
CFO James Merrill bought $64,000 worth of company shares on March 7. He currently owns more than 100,000 shares. GMX is an Oklahoma-based oil and natural gas explorer with a $150 million market cap. There has been some takeover chatter recently, and it will be interesting to see what happens as the United States looks domestically for energy source.
GVP - Looking good today on its way to recovery.
LNG - New HOD coming

TQNT - Semiconductor Growth stock - IRA Consideration
Chip maker for iPad 2 / iPhone 5
Stock took a beat down with the market troubles recently. Should run up towards iPhone 5 release this summer IMO. Company was left out of iPhone 4 because they could not keep up with demand. They are now armed with more capability and will feature 4 chips per iPhone 5. They have 2 chips in each iPad 2. Great Growth Stock IMO. See financial growth below... Hopefully ACLS will be the next TQNT!
