It's so easy to pile on HRCT mgmt.
So very very easy.
With Dr. Hu apparently leaving, I don't imagine anything significant - an imminent event that would raise the share price - is going to happen.
Regarding a PR on the SHM itself - my glass is half-empty.
Back to work in Asia. Monday Monday. HRCT management back on the job, too, making calls, cutting deals, keeping its shareholders informed.
Tin, if you're looking for inverse relationships,
try Hu/Corporate Transparency.
I think Dr. Hu had a similar progression. I guess this is what they teach in Biz-School.
Tin is just getting ahead of himself again.
Good tune.
I had always hoped Dr. Hu was going to build his own company, put his stamp on a business entity, beginning with China Princely and moving forward at whatever pace was reasonable and possible. Not to be, I guess.
I don't like the idea of a reverse-merger, and probably a reverse stock split. If that happens, I think I finally lose at this table.
Whew, that's way harsh, I-man.
SHM meeting prediction:
HRCT is absorbed by Zhendga, a virtually inaccessible corporation located in a land far, far away.
Like many adventures, it was a slam-dunk on paper.
Getting it done on the ground turned out to be not so easy.
Which is fine. Few things succeed like we'd hoped.
It's the lack of communication that bugs me, and that erodes their integrity. People have invested real money in HRCT.
What's up with NED today?
oops,wrong thread

No mention of the man with the plan, Dr. Hu.
Persona non grata?
Paddles, CLEAR!
Olympic Flame lands in Beijing.

So little miss HRCT has a suitor.
This Top Secret News must be "good news" because bad news sure isn't gonna surprise anyone, much less knock their socks off.
HRCT has turned out the lights - wow, that really knocks my socks off - lol.
MBR, this "I've got a secret" thing - it's been done, it used to be a tv show, very popular with adolescents.
Not sure. I'll be helicoptering out.
'luck to ya.
First Mate, ready the life-boats.
Aye Aye, Sir!
Can't be sure, but since the man with the plan, Dr. Hu, isn't gonna be a Director next year, and his long-anticipated Zhendga deal doesn't even get a mention in the proxy, I think HRCT is destined to be exactly what it's been for the last six years, a cash cow for mid-level managers on their way somewhere else.
I'll be darn. Well I hope you're doing well. Are you still in New Jersey(?). I'm still hanging on this board - lol.
Hey, glad you're still alive!
He's probably got a sky-box high in the smog.
Asia surging 3%.
Maybe you heard some Democrats talking.
"move to France taste the difference."
Cmon now, it's roundly recognized that French cooking is the best in the world.
You shouldn't apply political labels to people when you don't really know them. For example, from your post, I could easily construe you to be a corporate fascist who, if unregulated, would chain 10 year old kids to weaving machines, but I won't extrapolate that far.
Never do I want to hear again from my conservative friends about how brilliant capitalists are, how much they deserve their seven-figure salaries and how government should keep its hands off the private economy.
The Wall Street titans have turned into a bunch of welfare clients. They are desperate to be bailed out by government from their own incompetence, and from the deregulatory regime for which they lobbied so hard. They have lost "confidence" in each other, you see, because none of these oh-so-wise captains of the universe have any idea what kinds of devalued securities sit in one another's portfolios

FED cut less than expected. CNBC whining.
Judging from some of the spam items, the new biz could still be considered vocational education.
No response from Dr. Hu to my email yet, but suddenly my spam folder is getting hit by an outfit called Meet-Asian-Singles.com.
Asia getting slammed.

It's been three days now since I emailed Dr. Hu. Shoot, I hope it didn't get shuffled into a spam folder and deleted. Ouch. I wrote him a short, polite email, informed him of my history as a shareholder, noted that his tenure had started out strong, and expressed my concern about the lack of communication over the last few months.
It's a little early to be expecting a reply, I guess. He could be on vacation, or maybe a business trip, somewhere where email doesn't get to, like the Caymans - no, they get email there.
Problem is, we are. If banks start failing...
