who's still trading at less than 5 p/e? other than CNOA which had the litigation thing hanging over its head
You're right, I shouldve specified Forward PEs. We are practically in 2010 now and a lot of the companies reporting earnings in November will be for 1st Q 2010 as they're not on the calendar year. So, you have to start looking ahead and not at 2009 anymore. Companies are already beginning to trade at the correct multiples for 2010, look at some of the big American companies. This will trickle down to the China microcaps.
The majority of the companies I have recommended have plans of uplisting to the US exchanges in the next year as well, so their forward PE of 5 will be at least doubled.
As for HQS, I havent been following it for long, but I can tell you upside is minimal even if earnings are thru the roof. You're looking at an upside of maybe 25% tops. Too rich for my blood. If you're looking for some bigger stocks to play, you should check out YONG. Now that stock has $40 written all over it. Probably will take 2 years to get their, but that's an upside of 300% from today's close.
As for the correction affecting the China micros, you are correct here as well. I said they'll get beat up next week, just not as bad as one may think. The last two days have been ugly for China plays, so next week we might see another 10-15% correction in the China plays ... BUT, isnt that what everyone wants? Hell, I want just about all of them to have a 50% correction so I can re-buy them at a blue-light special discount. If every stock I recommend goes down for the rest of the year, I'd still be happy because I know I'll be making that much more money next year when they go back up.
How many stocks do you own that have gone up more than 100% and are still under-valued? Some of these have gone up 500-1000% and are still undervalued. You can throw evaluations, PEs, debt, cash-flow out the window, but in the end they are still going to be undervalued. Just like they were earlier this year, and in most cases, like they still are. These will go up, though, it's just a matter of time. And I'd rather own them now, before they start going up another 100-200%, rather then wait for a very large market correction to buy them -- especially considering this BIG Correction is not coming this year. So why not own them now?
If anything, Gold would be the thing I'd tell people to sell right now. When they pull the rug on gold, it'll be $850 in the blink of an eye. Watch, next week as the market corrects, the dollar will get its overdue bounce, which means Gold will be heading down, just like the rest of the market. I just hope Gold is able to hold $990; otherwise, you'll see $920 within a few weeks, followed quickly by $850. The door is much smaller on the way out, and everyone is buying gold, just like everyone is shorting the US dollar. Both are over-crowded and overdue for a correction. Dollar up, Gold down, stock markets down. Rally continues first week of November ... as for gold, I do believe it's had its run and it's about to get the BIG correction you think is going to happen in the stock market. You just mixed the two up
