Gee, thanks!!
Appreciate that very much!
Cheers!

Hi Qiaofeng,

It is good to see you again, and I hope you are well. I have not been visiting much of CNA forums at all in the past 6-9 months, but now I understand there has been a radical change (for the worse, obviously, according to you).

I do recall us discussing on Pacific Andes and China Fishery once upon a time. Are you still holding on to shares of those companies? You did very deep analysis for these two companies which I found very helpful, though I guess ultimately we had different opinions on their prospects.

Glad to have you on-board to contribute to the discussions in this forum. You will find many experienced and knowledgeable people here, so do enjoy the stay!

Hi MW,

Great to see you and I always respect your opinions.
Hmmn, you are moderator here and I am a junior member, so I have better not go into any contentious discussions with you.
Maybe you could just ban me?

I guess our views for CFG/PARD are just different.
I have added more of both over time as I got to know the 2 companies and their prospects and operations better.
Time will tell...... maybe another 3 yrs...
Yes, I can wait.
The current bear mkt is not the best time to draw conclusions.

Hi Qiaofeng,

No problem at all, let's agree to disagree, and don't worry I've never banned anyone here for having a different opinion!

If you're interested, I think there is an existing thread on China Fishery and perhaps PARD which you can use to post your detailed analysis and thoughts, and perhaps news bits and corporate events/announcements relating to said companies. This makes it rather easier to track the progress of the company's business over time, and not just its share price alone. I completely agree with you that a bear market is not the best time to judge if an investment would work out; in fact it is the total return which a company can give to shareholders over time (i.e. dividends + capital gains) which determines its attractiveness.

So, yes, please do feel free to stay and contribute. Your views are always welcome here.

I started a blog, prior to joining this forum, partly becos I could not register as I was considered a spammer by the Valuebuddies system, see post by cyclone earlier. In fact, I pm you at the new CNA forum, for help.
Anyhow, I was quite pained by the loss of info at the old CNA forum and I guess it is safer to post info on my blog.

I am trying to get used to the ecosystem here.

I will try to post and contribute here, if I can, but perhaps not in the kind of intensity that I did in the old CNA forum.

More will perhaps go to my freshly & amateurishly set up blog

Not true. Let me share my experience with blogspot (Google is the owner!!)...

If one of your reader reports you (eg. you copied and pasted some news article from another source and that content owner reported you for copyright infringement), your account may get frozen. That'll include all other blogs registered under the same email address.

You can try to appeal (in case you didn't violate any of their terms and agreements) but it's almost impossible. There's only a standard button to lodge your appeal. The problem is also you don't even know the real reason for being frozen in the first place.

Anyway, as a precaution, I'd strongly advise that you have a co-blogger for your blogs (you can send an invite from your settings) with full admin rights. Use another email address (can easily create another) or if KS, have multiple co-bloggers. In my case, they only froze me (the "violator" but fortunately, not my co-bloggers). But, the violating blog remains frozen.

An alternative but more tedious approach is to have a mirror blog with a different blog service provider (eg. Wordpress). You can either post to both blogs at the same time or use the 'Import' feature to import your postings over.

IMO, the best solution is to have your own website. That'd be a bit more challenging as you'd need to do the necessary maintenance and setup, but, your data will be a lot safer (of course can still be lost if the host is lousy).

My setting up of the blog was reactive, a spontaneous response action. I just went to blogger page, followed the instructions and the steps to get the blog setup, that very nite my threads in the CNA Forum was deleted.
Thanks for telling me your experiences. It looks like I would have to store research data on stocks seperately in my thumb drive.
I guess stock news, biz news, I can lose...... I can let go....

Btw, Mr Cat, Could U go to my blog and pm your comments here or there, on how I can improve so as not to violate any blogging conventions, posting on "Intro", might be taking up others bandwidth....

Thks in advance.
