ChinaSecurities.com Small-Cap Company Feature: China Sunergy

Posted by admin at 10:00 AM on Friday, April 30th, 2010

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:

1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

2] Great Results and Valuations - Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, NYSE Alternext and NASDAQ) with great financial results. Unlike many dubious US Small Cap Companies, Chinese Companies don’t seem to believe in losing money or failing to execute in a business plan. As such, 7-digit revenues and profits are very common.

From a valuation point of view, many Chinese companies became a victim of their own success in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. Why? When the world needed to start liquidating, one of the first places they looked were China where most investors had significant gains to sell into. This resulted in the proverbial baby being thrown out with the bathwater and some great valuations.

China to see rising demand for nickel pig iron

Posted by admin at 7:52 AM on Friday, April 30th, 2010

China is expected to see rising demand for nickel pig iron in view of the rise of the price of nickel.

The recovery of stainless steel market means demand for nickel by steel manufacturers will grow.

Steel manufacturers commonly produce stainless steel via the smelting method of combining pig iron and pure nickel.  However, the nickel price hike has driven up the cost of this, so steel manufacturers have begun to use nickel pig iron to save costs.

In 2009, China extracted 90,000 to 100,000 metric tons (tonnes) of pure nickel from nickel pig iron.

At present, the electrolytic nickel plate produced by China’s largest electrolytic nickel producer, the Jinchuan Group, stood at 195,000 yuan/tonne, while on Friday 1# nickel plate on the Yangtze River Nonferrous Metal Spot market was quoted at 184,500 yuan/tonne.
