Thank you PP. Some of us are very glad (I'm sure :) ) to get rid of him. We have suffered from our shares being suspended in CYC and in SWC and hardly needed him to gloat about it on a regular basis.

SWC is looking to me as if it could actually after all this time begin to do well.

One of the concerns for any China based company (or one that relies on China manufacturing to some extent) is the fact that Chinese inflation is rampant, and costs are rising very fast, not only your standard items affected by day to day inflation, but very fast rising labour costs to as wages rise and demands for higher wages gains momentum.

Inflation in China could be a detrimental point to performance on many companies, whether that is minimal or signficiant will be on a case by case basis, only possible to be seen as interims and prelims keep coming through.

Always worth considering, and not just ignore it, it has the potential to cause some upsets.....maybe not this stock though, who knows.




China Moves to Stem Inflation and Calm Investors

By DAVID BARBOZA

Published: March 19, 2008

SHANGHAI - Stock prices plummeted in China on Tuesday over inflation fears and growing concerns about the ripple effects of an economic slowdown in the United States. Showing its determination to hold down prices, the Chinese central bank then moved to tighten lending.

Shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange tumbled nearly 4 percent, with the composite index ending at 3,668.90. The index is down nearly 40 percent from its record high last October. The fall in the Shenzhen composite index was even steeper Tuesday - off 6.6 percent, to close at 1,082.28.

Shares appeared to be recovering somewhat in early trading on Wednesday, after the United States central bank cut interest rates in a bid to rekindle growth.

In Hong Kong, shares rose on Tuesday by 1.42 percent. Other Asian markets, including Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India and Indonesia, also rebounded modestly after a sharp sell-off Monday. Some of those markets appeared to be extending those gains on Wednesday.

The Tuesday sell-off in China came after Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said at a televised news conference on Tuesday morning that inflation this year would probably exceed the government's target of 4.8 percent, after a sharp rise last year. Continuing inflation is regarded as a sign that the Chinese economy may be overheating.

Officials in Beijing now say that fighting inflation is the government's top priority. That could mean raising interest rates, a step that often.....................

Dr Jekyl

iantc, I looked up the posters posting history, so far there has been 2 "LOL" here and nothing else.

Surprisingly looking at the posting history on other threads, guess what, more "LOL"........

Therefore if all we are going to get from time to time is a "LOL" and nothing else, then yes, I probably would to save people the hassle of looking up a new post and seeing "LOL" is all it was, and a "LOL" for no reason.

[iantc] 22/3/2008 13:47

Had a scan of the listing document - this must be one of the longest negotiated reverse takeovers of all time! Looks a tad overly complex. I note that the Chairman's confectionary companies went bust in January 2008 - hardly a vote of confidence in their abilities!

[papalpower] 22/3/2008 12:41

RB - are you intending to contribute, or should I ban you ?

[william-just] 22/3/2008 10:37

Also on relisting they should have sent an basket of eggs to the trading floor.
it would have been a great pr stunt for the re entry to aim.

[william-just] 22/3/2008 10:36

DJ and all, have a good long holiday weekend.

[diddy123] 21/3/2008 10:16

Hi Dr,jelyll did you buy any yesterday?

[dr jekyll] 21/3/2008 09:46

Well done PapalPower. This thrtead will be very welcome to SWC investors I'm sure. The other thread was not kept up to date and no moderating was done. So this will be much better for everyone. It is far more likely to attract new and serious investors and I know you will eliminate some of the dross that can be posted on this thread.

Have a good Easter and a big thank you from me.

Comment in The Times :) :




From The Times March 19, 2008

..........Great jubilation at Sweet China, which has managed to get its AIM flotation away (just), raising £2.7 million. The company is buying three sweets brands, including one "which manufactures plastic animals which poo jelly beans" and will henceforth be made in China, its PR twitters excitedly. Let me check I have this absolutely correct. The market won't fund the basic lending that is essential to allow the financial system to function. But it will fund the purchase of a firm that makes animals which etc, etc. And this is a cause for celebration? .....
