"What kind of manufacturing are you referring to, if you don’t mind my asking?"
Sure, I don't mind. One pharmaceutical facility, Shanhai Modern Pudong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, in which my main interest was a product called Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Another facility called Jiaxing Hengjie Bioengineering Co Ltd that makes Chondroitin Sulfate amoung other ingredients and then a company called Suzhou Sanjin Nutrient & Health Products Co Ltd that produces Creatine based ingredients.
Mind you my area of interest related to my current career path is focused in a catagory of human nutritional supplements (ie D-Glucosamine, CoQ10, all vitamins, amino acids, botanical extracts, taurine and enzymes such as Nattokinase). I also sell other ingredients to companies like Eli Lilly and DowAgro Sciences.
As a side note, thanks for the updated link to GTCB current status. Last December I purchase shares at the $1.525 area and recently sold 80% of my holdings at the $1.87-$1.81 range on 2/23/05. I felt that my position was unreasonably unbalanced. Now I am considering the risk/reward of adding to my current position.
