Yongye Biotechnology International, Inc. (YONG)

[Florinda]

Hi Gabbs, I've been a member of the MF Global Gains service for over two years now and they've specifically gone to YONG's facilities twice on two different trips and seen for themselves the improvements on the land such as new equipment and expanded operations. I just went to see if I could find any of the photos they'd taken but couldn't--they have a very large archive of past notes, etc. and after ten minutes of looking I gave up. But I can assure you that I did seem them and, as of today, YONG is regarded as a "buy" which is a notch below "best buy." So, obviously, they are not throwing the towel in on this one nor recommending selling it because of all the hubhub--no pun intended! But they are long term investors so waiting long stretches without much appreciation in price is, from that perspective, to be expected.

Just for the record, I don't mean to be pumping this stock. Indeed, I haven't been to this board in a long time. But seeing how YONG is talked about a lot on the Global Gains boards and I know for a fact that the company exists, I just wanted to state this since information on the company can be hard to come by.

Hope that helps.
