"Do you feel lucky?" Dirty Harry
Nice imagination Marty!
Last I checked No shares available, but not on regSHO yet. That regSHO posting wouldn't happen till around 11PM EDT.
Computer entry error causes Friday's after hours plunge.
A sale of stock after hours by a fellow going by the id of "acorisk" brought about an after hours plunge on Friday Feb. 18, 2011. He inadvertently placed an order to sell at $12.40 instead of $14.20. In the end, well, the best he could say was "a few folks received a holiday gift."
Thanks mic178 of Investor Village
"It's like trying to squeeze a camel through the eye of a needle." Sorry shorts no shares available at that price; but since you need to replace those borrowed shares you can have mine for $35.00... No, on second thought, I think I'll keep them. Squeeze...
Getting close to "last call" before the big kahuna. But there might be some more dips before then. Who knows? You need sellers in order to buy and I know I'm not selling.
That's right, I mentioned that in an earlier post... Thanks for reminding me Swampdonkey!
Earlier Post
Don't know much about the Mongolian market other than I used to get record business royalty statements from Ulan Bator Mongolia, back in the 90s when we started a record label for Virgin.
Ooops, CCME is befuddling the Bears again!
"Our system posted a WAIT today. The previous SELL recommendation was issued on 02.16.2011 (7) days ago, when the stock price was 12.7000. Since then CCME has gained 12.20% .
The tag stays at WAIT. However, the market continues to go up since the previous SELL signal. The patterns were not agile enough to recognize the bullish move.
You can either wait for the next signal or you may join the bullish crowd. The decision is up to you.
Short sales are not advised given the current bullish momentum though our signals are currently neutral about this issue."
Oh well got em all confused nice try better luck next time... Bwahaha!!!
Nice find Mr.Majik55!
CCME vs. FMCN - Comparing Key Metrics
In terms of key metrics comparing FMCN with CCME is interesting given that FMCN was recently added to the Goldman Sachs “Conviction Buy” List. Especially when you consider CCME growth has accelerated in recent quarters and so is toned down in its TTM numbers due to the earlier quarters being before the accelerated growth.

CCME Vs. ONP - Comparing Key Metrics
Since mention has been made in certain quarters that we can use the recent events of the short attack on ONP as a comparison for what might happen to CCME, some good points were made here against this line of thinking. Here is more food for thought...
CCME

Operating Margin 65.94%
EBITDA Margin 67.52%
Profit Margin 49.26%

Return on Inves. Capital 67.67%
The Return on Equity for CCME shows that it is able to reinvest its earnings more efficiently than 98% of its competitors in the Advertising industry. Typically, companies that have higher return on equity values are more attractive to investors.
ONP
Profitability (TTM)
Gross Margin 19.65%
Operating Margin 16.02%
EBITDA Margin 19.39%

Growth Rate (TTM)

Result: In terms of key metrics comparing ONP with CCME is absurd. I feel with the small float CCME will rebound very quickly.

The basher "Journalists" (I can't call them analysts, as an analyst should be able to dig deeper than me.) They endlessly repeat Muddy/Citro etc. but never WCTBills... Don't you find that strange?
Michael, They're a joke! As I said earlier: "Listen to the echo, echo, echo." They've got nothing but vague innuendos, and aspersions painted in broad strokes. They demonstrate a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth. John B.

Deloitte will sign off on audit. Legal consequences for short and distort perps will be serious.
Great job as always!
Interesting YMB response to Pearson by theericman
"Another Hit Disguised Hit Piece by Pearson 23-Feb-11 11:43 am
This guy is incredible. He keeps insisting that ccme price won't recover even if it's proven to be free and clear of any fraud. Non of the stocks he is comparing ccme to has the similar growth rate in rev or earnings. This situation is much more similar to LDK when it was attacked by the fired employee. Then Barrons and Jefferies joined the bandwagon (and eventually even Goldman, down grading it to "conviction sell" - i don't think that category even existed until LDK). the stock tanked from 70 to 26. But going into Deloite's announcement of it's audit results, the stock bounced from 26 to 76 in matter of days!! (the end of nov to early Dec) the stock eventually came off because of missed earnings and warning in the middle of Dec. This Pearson dude is a clown. I have no idea why he would keep talking down ccme if he is long? Does that make sense?? He's gotta be a retard or a basher. That's my opinion."

C'mon, daddy needs a new pair of shoes!!
When the BS started flying they reassessed their priorities. They didn't want to spend the conference answering questions about MW/Citron etc, BS.
By then Muddy Waters will be in custody.
My educated guesses on the end game of this clown show.
Deloitte's gonna be locked and loaded - no stone unturned - their reputation is on the line. Once they get past this, they will be the first pick auditors of choice in all US traded companies from China. I expect CCME to pass with flying colors. Also CCME is holding back announcing their new bus accounts till earnings - they are gonna knock it out of the park. CCME will be the poster child for successful Chinese companies in the US capital markets. Therefore, I'm sure the Chinese Gov. is watching very closely as they really want this to work. After the Audit is released the Hong Kong police will be mopping up the Muddy Waters. This is gonna be great!
