Why I don't buy Chinese stocks on AIM

By Tom Bulford

Sep 18, 2012


Greg Rudd, the brother of the former Australian prime minister, once met a Chinese businessman who gave him some prudent advice.

"You tend to see the good in people, Mr Rudd", he started. "People like you. You laugh a lot. But you'll never make money in China with that attitude. You'll only be taken advantage of. People will trade off you. They won't pay you. The number one rule of doing business in China is this; never trust a Chinaman. Why would you as a foreigner trust a Chinese businessman when we as Chinese don't trust each other?"

Now that advice is pretty close to the bone. But I've said it before in Penny Sleuth – you have to be very careful when you invest in a Chinese company. The record of AIM-listed Chinese companies is simply awful. And with so many still coming to market, there is a real chance that many private investors will end up making some very expensive mistakes...

Just popped in to see what is going on here.

Re-evaluated and sold out as I was not sure if the business model will make money.

They use their own money to intall reactance filters and other energy saving devices. they then hope to recover costs and profits by sharing in energy savings over several years.

My main concerns were:

1. It will take a few years to recover teh cost of the equipments before profits. The comapny needs a good cash reserve to use for each new installation as cash recovery and profits is several years away from each installation.

2. There has not beeen any validation how much energy savings is made by their installation, so the assumption that in 5 years they would have recovered costs plus profitc via a share of the savings is just an assumption at the moment.

3. where will the cash that is needed to fund these installations and pay operating costs, (salaries , etc), untill these share of the savings starts covering the day to day cost required by the company.



Anyway these are just my views and I am sure some better informed investor will correct any errors in my assumptions.

The obvious alternative to incandescent lighting will be CFL's and not LED's.

Thats probably why you had the massive dumping to push the price down to circa 0.3p with retail investors taking up the slack from what looks like bulk disposals.

From the recent RMS research article

"China will ban sales of incandescent lamps (bulbs) that use 100 watts (W) or more of power starting Oct. 1, 2012. The ban will be expanded to cover any bulbs that use more than 60W in 2014 and to 15W in 2016.

From the reaction of the market, it would appear that investors think that this will have an immediate impact on the market for LED lamps, as Chinese consumers will be required to purchase more efficient replacements. This is a gross overreaction, as the timeline of this ban and the role CFLs have to play do not appear to have been taken into account......

Importantly, 60W and 75W lamps are the most widely used incandescent lamps and they will be sold in China until October 2014. This means that LEDs won't really have an opportunity to benefit from this ban for three years, and they will still have to compete with low cost CFL bulbs once it comes into effect."

Steph, not seen you on the TOM thread lately, you still in?

Why the bitterness here, very unlike you!?!
...........................................................................

27 Macca

100% supporter of TOM. But as I have said to others I am simply no longer interested in putting any of my research / opinions on the TOM BB, while certain validated posters persist in posting endless misinformation and complete and utter rubbish about the company, with the sole view of attempting to trash the thread and prevent constructive two way discussion.

I communicate with genuine investors via email regarding TOM.
I also e mail with some investors regarding my investment in Zoltav Resources (ZOL) where I am expecting "very interesting" developments shortly.

As regards LED

bitterness? Certainly not?

Reality : Certainly yes.

With the possible exception of 7 trades @ .30p, EVERYBODY ELSE IS SHOWING A (PAPER) LOSS ON TRADES in the past three days. 46.2% spread at times!! Average spread 25%

If you looked at L2 there are 5 MMs. Only one of them increased their bid from .25p price during all of the recent activity.

It was a opportunity for some to dump shares.

Someone posted on this thread that there was a fund raising at 2p. This was just a director putting in a few £. Do not be fooled.

However my view is not shared by MOREFORUS on the traders thread (CR) who on 26th Jan suggested the shares were heading for 2p. I see from a further post on the CR thread by Cecky, that Moreforus mentioned LED no less than 9 times before the market had been open one hour.

..............................................

moreforus - 26 Jan'12 - 08:54 - 49498 of 49782


LED seller cleared!!

back to 2p!!


..............................................

Moreforus may indeed be correct and the share may go to 2p, but I would not touch it with a bargepole.

I doubt this will ever see 2p

There seem to be some very rum goings on with chinese investors in these chinese AIM stocks

inscrutable

i suspect there is some Chinese equivalent of advfn where a Chinese Topinfo uses all manner of tawdry tactics to try to make 50 yuan a day LOL

At current market cap i doubt they can afford to sustain an AIM listing or raise cash from AIM investors ?

Could a de-listing occur here ?

I don't understand the point of Growth Company Investor. All they do is rewrite RNSs. They never have any information to add. I guess they just exist to get a few page hits to sell ads.

Given the gross margins these guys earn i'm surprised this is still so highly valued. Did some dim wit investors invest just based on the ticker symbol ?

Schoolboy error.

Well we could certainly do with some useful contract news etc.
Many small stocks getting knocked at the moment but nothing fundamentally has changed, mostly bored/scared investors, tiny volumes.
LED is definitely a long slow play........patience required here.

All IMHO of course, DYOR etc.
