CAAS Plans to Acquire 36.5% of Henglong Automotive Parts Company

CAAS – China Automotive Systems (Nasdaq) - (Closing Price – $8.28)

China Automotive Systems announced that it has started discussions with Hubei Wanlong Investment Co. to acquire an additional 36.5% of Henglong Automotive Parts Company.

China Automotive Systems currently owns 44.5% of Henglong Automotive Parts Company. In 2006 Henglong posted sales of USD$54.54 million, representing 57% of China Automotive Systems’ total net sales and net profit of USD$9.75 million, while CAAS’ net profit was USD$4.81 million. Acquiring a bigger portion of Henglong will obviously be beneficial.

I don’t see any reason to sell China Automotive Systems and I would continue to hold your shares. According to Yahoo Finance the insider sells that were weighing on the stock price have stopped and there was even an insider buy on Dec. 3. (more…)

Want a Risk Free 14% Return?

DVW – Covad Communications (Amex) – (Closing Price – 0.88) 

Every investor would like to make risk free investments, but risk and return have a direct relationship. Investments with the least risk usually have the least amount of return and vice versa.

However, right now you can get a fourteen percent return without much risk.

Covad Communications (DVW) announced on October 28 that it is being acquired by Platinum Equity for $1.02 a share. However, since the announcement Covad shares have traded as low as $0.77 and they are currently trading at $0.88.

If you buy at today’s closing price you are looking at a 14% return when the acquisition closes. (more…)

Technical Analysis

By: admin | Date posted: 12.12.2007 (3:34 pm)

I use a little technical analysis (TA) in my investment decisions but for the most part I think technical analysis is a bunch of nonsense. However, I think becoming familiar with TA can make you a better investor.

Technical analysis is the strategy of reading price charts to evaluate whether a stock is a good investment/trade. Technical analysis is in contrast to fundamental analysis which is the strategy of studying a company’s fundamentals (revenues, earnings, etc.) to determine potential investments.

A lot of traders who hold stocks for a very short period of time (day traders, swing traders, momentum players) use TA as their primary evaluation method for buying or selling stocks. However, trying to consistently predict the price movement of a stock over a short period of time is very difficult, if not impossible. In fact I’ve read an article stating that most day traders lose all of their capital within a year. (more…)

China Automotive Systems Announces U.S. Aftermarket Deal

By: admin | Date posted: 12.10.2007 (7:11 pm)

CAAS – China Automotive Systems (Nasdaq) – (Closing Price – $8.41)

China Automotive Systems reported an almost twenty percent gain today after the company announced it signed its first aftermarket supply contract in the U.S. with aftermarket supplier Dorman Products Inc.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

This contract is obviously a positive development for China Automotive Systems and I would recommend to continue holding your shares. The stock price of China Automotive Systems has shown the ability to make strong runs in the past so I would see how it plays out over the next few days.

Disclaimer: I have no position in CAAS.

If you do a search for free stock picks in Google you will find that most of the top sites listed are not very relevant to those keywords. They just happen to have those keywords or a variation of those words on their pages.

Even though I have a tremendous amount of free stock picks and stock market advice on my website I don’t have a post that specifically mentions those words. This post is meant to fix that.

If you found this website by searching for free stock picks then you have come to the right place. My website is loaded with stock market commentary and stock recommendations.
