China Essence

When the price of corn , wheat , etc shot up , there will be spillovers to starch . But don't expect the price of potato to remain cheap ...

In a cash strapped situation , where can essence find money to buy more expensive potato ?

I've been seeing a lot of profit warnings from S-Chips. Wonder what's up?

To borrow from WB's, my personal potshot of this is - 'It is only when the tide comes down, then you will know who is swimming NAKED..

i think it is something worse than swimming naked...

swimming away so that it will not be caught...

5 consecutive quarters of losses so far?

What is the criteria to enter SGX "delisting" list?

If a counter is delisted, what does shareholders get back?
toilet papers?

Criteria for delisting is 3 consecutive years of losses.

one of the key risks is govt coming in to rein in on the downstream food prices, very commonly in developing countries...?

With a high upstream raw material (potato) price [to protect farmers] , and a possible rein-in on downstream product prices [to protect food consumers] , how are mid-stream manufacturing companies going to survive, let alone making any profit?

some billionaire used to say that one should not simply buy more of a counter because the price appears to be cheap; neither should one sell a stock if the price appears to be high...

If the P/E can go down to one, it can go down to zero too.


e.g. Qingmei - If we think 20 cents was cheap (fell from 31 cents), how abt 7.6 cents now? If no fraud, each share is backed by 12 cents in cash...

China Bearing - if we think 5 cents was cheap (fell from more than 30 cents), how abt 1.9 cents now?
