Since you are relatively new you might not have been asked this question:

So how would your post look different if it is posted in 2010 instead of 2015? Anything changed except shareprice moved between HK$20-37?

Just a friendly nudge that one need look at catalyst as well rather than what many "analysts" forgot to do: something that has changed.
