With the current issues surrounding the ChinaHybrid space and as a result of our on the ground DD, GeoInvesting cannot justify taking a long position in any company with SAIC filings that do not match. This will be the status quo until this topic has been further clarified. In the meantime, we will be developing a short strategy for FIE-structured companies with mismatched filings. We will also perform on the ground DD, sensless equity offerings and poor auditor rankings to support our decisions.

If the NASDAQ is considering reviewing SAIC filings, so will we. We are finally at the point of acting first and asking questions later.  We will still go long companies that meet our new quality standards.

The Final outcome regarding the CCME development will set the tone for the space going forward. It may also be prudent to wait for SEC resolution.

Interact with a PRC attorney as he investigates the operations of U.S. Listed Chinese Securities (ChinaHyrbrids) and oversees on-the-ground due diligence in the PRC.  Members of this board will be able to view GeoInvesting conversations with Bob as well as pose their own questions.  Members will collaborate to decide on which companies to investigate identifying companies with potential red flags as well as firms that appear to have solid operations.  Our ultimate goal is to make sure  we know what we are investing in. So don't be shy... Ask  Bob!!!

Please note that due diligence conversations are a work in progress, where conclusions can change day to day as new company information becomes available.

Here we talk about companies that we feel are or once were legit companies that are now trading on the pink sheets, as opposed to speculative ones which generally are getting pumped that we track on our speculative screen. Some of these companies choose to voluntarily migrate to the pink sheets to reduce expenses associated with listing fees, while others (often coined as Fallen Angels) may have been forced to de-list because they did not meet listing requirements precipitated by a scenario of weakened financials. Generally, investors are told to avoid Pink Sheet stocks. However, over our 20+ years of participating in the equity markets the Pink Sheet companies have offered us bountiful returns. The Pink Sheet venue offers a great opportunity to identify companies that are selling well below their valuation supported by their fundamentals; A truly inefficient market that gives non-professional investors an opportunity to take advantage of this valuation gap. In the end, investors could gain alpha by playing in a market that many other investors, including institutional investors often ignore. Specific companies that are on our tier 1 list are often companies emerging from chapter 11 bankruptcy. These chapter 11 companies are classic Fallen Angels that often reemerge as stronger companies, ripe to grow earnings. Many tier one pinks also become acquisition targets. INRB and ex-GeoBargain YoCream (YOCM) are just two examples of tier one pinks we owned that were acquired. Of course, there are risks to trading in these stocks, including the existence of small floats and lack of liquidity. Tier 1 companies are typically those that are investor friendly by issuing press releases, publishing financials and providing routine updates on business operations.
