China Digital TV Holding - More Questions Than Answers

To receive a special dividend is always a nice gesture from a company. Most shareholders love dividends. But why give away such a large stack of your cash value on your balance sheet?

In a press release from Monday, China Digital TV (STV) announced that it is declaring a special cash dividend of $2.30 per share. It is to be paid in two installments of $1.00 and $1.30 on or around Dec. 3, 2012, and Feb. 4, 2013, respectively.

China Techfaith: An Immensely Undervalued Stock Likely To Go Private

Thesis
In this article I will argue that smartphone and social gaming developer and distributor China Techfaith Wireless (CNTF) is an immensely undervalued stock, whose value is being almost completely ignored by the market, and, as such, will likely be the next recipient of a "going private" proposal.

I agree with the author that it is heavily undervalued. In 2005 this company was IPO'd by Merrill Lynch, but unfortunately it didn't flourish. They are in a transformation process, so we will see if it leads to results.

The Yangtze River, the longest one in Asia and the third longest in the world, is a significant part of China's economy-- but its waters suffer from industrial pollution.

Trunkbow Int. Going Private

Funny I had already two weeks an article on Trunkbow International (TBOW) for posting on Seeking Alpha, but I wasn't yet finished with polishing.

Today they announced that they are going private.

Trunkbow International Holdings Limited (TBOW) ("Trunkbow" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Mobile Payment Solutions ("MPS") and Mobile Value Added Services ("MVAS") in the PRC, today announced that its board of directors has received a preliminary non-binding proposal letter, dated November 2, 2012, from Hou Wanchun, Chairman of the board of directors of the Company, and Li Qiang, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company (together, the "Consortium Members"), that proposes a "going-private" transaction involving the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") not beneficially owned by the Consortium Members at a price of US$1.46 per Share in cash (the "Acquisition").

China prioritizes use of natural gas by vehicles, ships

(Reuters) - China unveiled on Wednesday a natural gas policy designed to spur the transport sector's use of the cleaner-burning fuel, and particularly of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as the world's second-largest user of fuel reins in consumption of dirtier oil.
Besides homes, utilities and factories, the government for the first time targeted the transport sector, covering buses, taxis, trucks, and vessels as preferred users of natural gas, according to a document published on the website of the National Development & Reform Commission (www.ndrc.gov.cn).

China's SMEs Access The Bond Market

As financings go, the $7.8 million of three-year bonds that Tri-Tech Holding, Inc. (TRIT) issued last month will not set any records for size. The significance of the financing, however, lies in the fact that it foreshadows a promising new source of capital for China’s small and medium-sized private companies.

Betting on China: Chinese Stocks, American Stock Markets, and the Wagers on a New Dynamic in Global Capitalism

I just ordered this book and I am curious what the author has to say. Betting on China takes readers on an illuminating journey into the often confusing and poorly understood world of Chinese stock issuances in America.

Quote Of The Day

Buy when you are scared to death; sell when you are tickled to death.

I guess this applies especially for US-listed China stocks. Focus on quality and legitimate companies: Guanwei Recycling (GPRC), Bona Film Group (BONA), Giant Interactive Group (GA), Longwei Petroleum  Investment Holdings (LPH), Trunkbow Int. (TBOW), Tri-Tech Holding (TRIT). Of course there are more legitimate US-listed China stocks, but this was just a selection. All of them are still not going private.

Deyu Agricultural (DEYU) Ready To Fly Soon

Deyu Agriculture Corp. (DEYU) is a vertically integrated producer, processor, marketer and distributor of organic and other agricultural products made from corn and grains operating in China's Shanxi Province. The company has access to over 109,000 acres of farmland in Shanxi Province for breeding, cultivating, processing, warehousing and distributing grain and corn products. Deyu has an extensive wholesale network in over 15 provinces and a retail distribution network of approximately 20,000 supermarkets and convenience stores in 29 provinces across China. Deyu's facilities include advanced production lines and modern warehouses with a total production capacity of over 105,000 tons for grain products, storage capacity of over 100,000 tons and annual turnover of 700,000 tons for corn products.

The company announced that effective October 11, 2012, the Board expanded the number of members serving on the company's Board from five to seven in accordance with the company's bylaws, and subsequently filled the vacancies created by the expansion by appointing Mr. Greg Chen and Mr. Jan Poulsen to serve on the Board until the next following annual meeting of the stockholders of the company, at which such directors shall be eligible for election by the stockholders.

Additionally, Mr. Chen was appointed the President of Deyu, where his responsibilities shall include assisting the Company with its international and domestic market development, enhancing the company's investor relations programs and the execution of those programs and assisting the company with its corporate and operational strategies and business planning.

It seems that the company is looking to uplist to a major exchange. This could become a liquidity play if IR efforts really take off. Liquidity is very low at this moment but this gives risk seeking investors a chance to profit from the current low price. This company definitely deserves some deeper research, especially because of the attractive P/E and book value.
