CCCL- Monday's "Street Wire" says, among other things, "The gross profit margin for CHINA CERAMICS CO LTD is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 33.90%. Regardless of CCCL's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, CCCL's net profit margin of 17.50% significantly outperformed against the industry."
The above alone tells me the Street's report is unreasonable as relates to margins. Really, a company can "outperform" on gross profit margins, yet be a sell? A company can outperform yet trade at a PE of 1.7 or 1.8?
If the company is not a fraud *there is virtually no short interest nor even a whiff of bashing*, then it can create its value in less than 2 years.
Compare CCCL to Arab Ceramics with 34.2% operating margins and 31.27% net income margin.
See: http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?ticker=CERA:EY
Thus CCCL's gross margins are similar to margins in the industry. Moreover margins can differ given demands for tile.
If Cramer applied the same checkoff list analysis to CCCL that he did to CCME when he took Joe's call, Cramer would have to say CCCL is a buy. Wouldn't that be a neat contradiction between man and machine?
For anyone wondering about the recent CCCL price decline, a seemingly quasi-automated "report" generated by the Street on Monday is a leading explanation.
Here is discussion: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=63968817
CCCL: No idea why its going down but Maj himself categorized it as 'Overall Positive' on the ground finding that confirmed the worker count and the ability of the company to generate the revenues they say in their SEC filings (In his post last Friday). No idea why anyone would sell in front of that description, shrug.

Just before the year 2000, Time Magazine named the 20 most influential leaders and revolutionaries from the 20th century. The list includes: Nelson Mandela, Mohandas Gandhi, FDR, Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Adolph Hitler, VI Lenin, Winston Churchill, Mao Zedung and the unknown rebel:
Everyone should watch this video on the June 1989 student uprising in China, and what the totalitarian dictatorship is willing to do to suppress (murder) these peaceful protestors. Sadly, no one in China can watch this historically accurate video (or any video about the student protests in 1989). Click here to see the video.
If you unsure about committing time to watch the movie, read some of the comments about the documentary in this thread.
(This is posted to add this video link to the sticky post area).

Anyone have any statistics on how long an RTO Chicom client company's PR-announced law firm and/or lawfirm's advisory accounting firm has historically lasted while attempting to perform investigations into accounting irregularity and/or forensic due diligence before resigning for lack of cooperation?
-Andrew
Armor piercing bullets can do a lot to a non-violent peacefully protesting crowd.
I'm glad you and others took the time to watch this video, even in light of the fact that the images are graphic and potentially disturbing to some viewers. This video is factually accurate, refined, and well produced. The rapid explanation of detailed information presents fair and accurate clips to match the narration. Americans and the world need to understand what Chinese authoritarians are willing to do to maintain their self-dealing corrupt monolithic control.
This video is reality.
-Andrew
CCCL - Am I reading this right? Now a PE of 1.8 now, but almost no short interest? That's a virtual contradiction for a manufacturer. Given the Chicom RTO environment, it's priced as a fraud or growthless, yet the short interest says no one is betting against this company's books or good faith intentions. I bought more on Friday (perhaps the best indicator of a next day drop)... This should be trading higher than it is.

OT - To buy ipad2,a boy student sold his kidney for 20000yuan. story link
"A boy student from Anhui province,surnamed Zhen,saw a kidney-sail intermediary online and he was lured to sell his kidney for 20000 to buy an ipad2.He got his kidney removed in a hospital in Hunan province. One month passed,his health got worsen,but it's too late to cry over the spilt milk."
You can never completely rule out a zero value possibility for companies traded in the US with all assets in mainland China. This is a country with such high levels of corruption that its pocken-lined leaders, with greased-hand hierarchies, order the merciless execution those who oppose its leadership, policies, claim to power, or actions. Such an environment rewards corruption over legitimacy by example from which to learn, where permission to success can necessitate bribery, where moral strength and expression is overpowered by thugs. This country's central leadership is so manifestly corrupt that it naturally breeds economic conditions which spawn fraud, fabrication, and hollowness. Such may victimize foreign investors who lack any rights or jurisdiction to secure their inherently risky investments.
-Andrew
For those who may question GOOG's China stance, i.e. pulling out of China because they do not wantt o take part in censorship, watch this video, one of the best I've ever seen, on the student uprising in China and how, specifically, the totalitarian regime put that riot down. Remember, no one in China can watch this video.
Everyone should watch this video on the June 1989 student uprising in China. Sadly, no one in China can do so.
Watching "The China Question" on CNBC. In one scene, the reporter / documentarian rode a tour bus to get to a distant province. There were no screens visible on that bus, much less those with advertising. Therefore there remains at least one bus for further growth in that advertising venue for those companies who purport to provide such services. ;)
I recommend the one hour show.

US rating - Moody's threatens to put U.S. rating on review
English.news.cn 2011-06-03 03:49:47 FeedbackPrintRSS
NEW YORK, June 2 (Xinhua) -- Moody's Investors Service said on Thursday that it expected to put the U.S. government's rating on review for possible downgrade if there is no progress on increasing the statutory debt limit in coming weeks.
Moody's said in a statement that the degree of political conflict over an increase in the statutory debt limit has " exceeded expectations", which increased the odds of a short-lived default.
Moody's said the Aaa rating will be maintained if the debt limit is raised and default avoided. However, the rating outlook will depend on the outcome of negotiations on deficit reduction.
"A credible agreement on substantial deficit reduction would support a continued stable outlook; lack of such an agreement could prompt Moody's to change its outlook to negative on the Aaa rating," Moody's said.
Moody also explained that the debt limit negotiations in Washington represent "a real near-term opportunity" for agreement on a plan for fiscal consolidation. Therefore, failure to reach an agreement as part of the current negotiations would increase the likelihood of a negative outlook in the near term, because the upward debt trajectory would still be in place.

Geithner says confident to stave off debt crisis
WASHINGTON, June 2 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Thursday he is confident that the United States can avert a debt crisis in the near future.
Geithner said Thursday after a meeting with freshmen Republicans in the House that a default crisis will be avoided, as Congress and the White House can reach a deal on long-term fiscal plans this summer. Full story
White House urges raising borrowing cap to avoid economic disasters
WASHINGTON, May 16 (Xinhua) -- The United States has reached the statutory debt limit Monday and the Obama administration pressed the Congress to lift the debt ceiling in a timely manner to ensure global confidence in the world's largest economy.
The United States has hit the 14.29 trillion U.S. dollars legal ceiling on borrowings and was starting to take extraordinary measures to buy some time until August 2 for Democrats and Republicans to ink a deal to raise the debt ceiling and stave off a default on U.S. debt, according to a letter addressed to congressional leaders from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

I suppose anyone can request a deletion, not just a Moderator or Assistant Moderator of a different Board. Whether the deletion so requested is actually performed would be up to the higher ups.
This "China Stocks" Board is symbiotic, and not in competition to the exclusion of any other Board including the CGS Board. When someone posts on the CGS Board about China stock related issues, this Board succeeds as much as when someone posts here about the same subject. The quality of your contribution to the discussion is critical, not whether you are a paying or non-paying member. Participants here are both paying and non-paying. Information and insights shared here are read by members who participate in multiple discussion venues; accordingly, these thoughts float into the greater discussion. Many read even if they do not post. Thank you.
-Andrew
Regarding questions about deletions, there were 11 posts deleted in the last 24 hours, all by someone who is neither a Moderator nor an Assistant Moderator here. Remember the higher-ups at iHub can do what they interpret iHub rules to allow and iHub users (paying and non-paying) agreed to accept these conditions as a prerequisite to joining and/or participating in the site.
This Board is a safety valve which ensures an open exchange of ideas on any China stocks or relevant China-related trends.
rru2s: Find three consecutive triples instead of one twenty bagger.
Rames: "I like what I'm hearing so far, but I'd like to see the fine print" - Wallstreet
Given the lack of jurisdiction by US courts and inability to attach assets in cases of fraud, the US major exchanges should not allow listing in the absence of these additional safeguards to prevent the defrauding of primarily US-based investors.
@Rames: Standards that would prevent another Ping bank verification is the goal.
Rames: For the sake of brevity, I lumped analysts with auditors a little too much in that second numbered question. I'd like to see analysts include in their reports the steps taken to review and confirm authenticity of bank records, to the point where one style of bare minimum thoroughness becomes the standard for the sector. Such review would include a statement in any such report of whether they were granted unfettered permission to review records, information on obtaining records from both a branch and from a bank's main office, as well as review of the actual events of unscheduled visits to branches on sporadically varied dates. Anything less, and calls to analysts and posts about what is learned should be plastered on the Internet until this becomes the standard.
CGS - YONG/XIN = nice development. That said, here are two basic questions about all CGS practices in light of past experience:
1) Bank Record Authenticity: Have all analysts AND auditors in this sector proactively confirmed the re-review (at least the spot checking of large transactions) in all bank records using records obtained at bank headquarters which serve as the basis of each respective analysis/report/audit for the last, say, two years? Legal: Will failure to so review in light of recent events become the retroactive standard for auditor recklessness as a matter of law, as opposed to a question of material fact?
2) CFO definition/ bank record access: Has each CFO in the sector confirmed actual access to his/her company's respective authentic bank records? I'd like to see each CFO define the limits of his/her position and authority including access privileges, where such data is confirmed by the company's general counsel and CEO. Such should be an SEC requirement IMHO so such filings would not be scorned as odd.

3) Shanghai. May 12. INTERFAX-CHINA - Although the number of IPTV subscribers is set to explode over the next few years, China's IPTV industry faces challenges if it is to maintain long-term development, delegates at the Asia Future TV 2008 conference in Shanghai said last Friday.
However, government restrictions, piracy, customer preconceptions and operator business models are all areas that could cause difficulties for the industry, said Li Yiqing, vice general manager of Huashu Digital Television Co. Ltd., an IPTV operator in Zhejiang Province.
"The government's restrictions on TV program content indicate that there will never be eye-catching programs on TV," she said. "Many good foreign TV dramas will not be introduced and some controversial content that people are interested in will not be allowed to be shown. If there is no good content, why should people pay to watch TV?"
"As for piracy, Chinese people as well as foreigners in China enjoy the country's piracy market. The programs on IPTV will never defeat pirated products in range and price," Li said.
"The third problem is that Chinese TV viewers have a deeply-rooted conception that all TV programs should be free, as the Chinese government has always defined TV as a free social service," she said.
"The fourth problem is that many IPTV operators are not conducting their businesses properly and whole-heartedly," she said. "Operators set up IPTV services as they fear being left behind. However, they don't analyze their consumers."
